Impact Evaluation

• Market Cap Context: Sagimet Biosciences has a market capitalization of approximately $280 million. The grant has a transaction value of $0 and is immaterial in this context.
• Ownership Concentration: The insider's post-transaction ownership of 193,581 shares represents a minor stake of approximately 0.62% of the company.
• Dilution Impact: The combined grant of 9,855 RSUs and options for 13,367 shares represents a potential future dilution of 23,222 shares, or about 0.075% of shares outstanding. This impact is negligible.
• Transaction Significance: The transaction is a routine compensation event and holds low significance. The number of shares granted is a very small fraction of the company's total shares outstanding.
