On October 15, 2026, Peiris acquired 105,239 Class A Ordinary Shares via the vesting and settlement of Restricted Share Units (RSUs) across several existing grants, along with receiving a new grant of 495,437 RSUs. Subsequently, on October 16, 2026, 58,262 Class A Ordinary Shares were sold at a price of $11.75 per share, generating aggregate proceeds of approximately $684,578.50.

Transaction Details & Intent

• Nature of Sale: According to the footnotes, the disposition of 58,262 shares was conducted strictly to cover statutory tax withholding obligations resulting from RSU vesting. It does not represent a discretionary market sale by the insider.
• New Equity Grant: The insider was also granted 495,437 RSUs scheduled to vest in sixteen equal quarterly installments starting January 15, 2027.
• Remaining Holdings: Following these transactions, Peiris directly holds 2,516,438 Class A Ordinary Shares and 1,125,790 Class B Ordinary Shares.

Market & Trading Significance

The trading significance is rated as Low. Because the disposition was a non-discretionary sell-to-cover transaction tied directly to routine equity compensation vesting, it does not indicate a shift in insider sentiment regarding the issuer's financial prospects or valuation.
