Key Transaction Details
- Nature of Transactions: Option exercise (Code M) and subsequent open market sales (Code S).
- Rule 10b5-1 Plan: All exercises and sales were executed pursuant to a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on December 3, 2025.
- Option Grant Details: The exercised options originated from a February 14, 2018 grant expiring in February 2028 with an exercise price of $18.41.
- Total Gross Sale Proceeds: Approximately $6,610,501 (weighted average price of ~$110.18 per share).
- Total Exercise Cost: $1,104,600 (60,000 shares × $18.41).

Impact on Ownership
Because the sold shares were newly acquired via option exercises, Dr. Torley's base direct holding of Halozyme common stock remained constant at 767,780 shares. Her remaining vested/unvested option position under this grant was reduced from 81,552 to 21,552 options.
Significance Assessment
The trading significance is categorized as Low. The sales were strictly executed under a pre-established Rule 10b5-1 trading plan to monetize stock options nearing expiration within ~16 months.
