Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Trinity Capital Inc. director Ronald E. Estes reported open-market purchases of the company’s common stock. He bought 500 shares on 11/18/2025 at $14.45 per share and 1,000 shares on 11/19/2025 at a weighted-average price of $14.43 per share, bringing his directly held position to 36,943.696 shares.

He also has an indirect holding of 10,172 shares through The Estes Revocable Trust, dated January 12, 1990. His holdings include 3,443 restricted shares issued under Trinity Capital’s 2019 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan, which vest in full on the earlier of June 12, 2026 or the date immediately preceding the next annual meeting of stockholders.

The filing explains that a prior administrative error misclassified 3,335 shares that had vested on June 11, 2025 and were transferred to the trust; this correction only reclassifies direct versus indirect ownership and does not change the total number of shares beneficially owned by Estes in earlier reports.
