Insider transactions analyst

Officer surrendered 389,352 shares for cancellation, reporting zero shares afterward.

This filing shows CleanCore Solutions’ chief revenue officer, Gary Hollst, surrendering 389,352 shares of common stock to the company on December 31, 2025. The shares were cancelled rather than sold in the market, and the narrative explains that the action was taken for tax planning purposes.

The filing states that Hollst did not receive any consideration from CleanCore Solutions in connection with the surrender, indicating this was a non-cash, internal equity adjustment. After the transaction, the form reports that he directly beneficially owned zero shares of common stock, which changes his reported equity exposure to the company.

Because the transaction cancels shares instead of issuing new ones, it reduces the reported holdings of this officer and slightly lowers the share count relative to what it would have been absent the surrender. Any broader impact depends on the company’s overall share base, which is not detailed in this excerpt.
