Acacia Research Corp

Acacia Research Corp has filed trades across 3 companies (mainly through SEC (Form 4)), most often in Veritone, Inc., Drive Shack Inc. and Evofem Biosciences, Inc. Over a trading history stretching from 17 May 2017 to 4 June 2020, the count stands at 19 filings.

The open-market side counts 4 purchases for €2.1M alongside 9 sales for €47.3M. Netting one side against the other leaves €45.2M of net selling. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. The rest of the record consists of 2 share grants. Since January 2020: no purchases and 1 sale on the market.

Half of the purchases are above €374k and half below. The 4 purchases reviewed show no overlap with other insiders buying the same stock within a month.

The latest filing, published on 9 June 2020, reports an open-market sale of €25.9M in Evofem Biosciences, Inc. The last insider purchase was made public on 26 December 2019, 2,510 days ago. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 4 days. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify. Every figure here comes from the filings published by SEC (Form 4) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.
