Opaleye Management Inc (10% owner) purchases 1,695 shares at SLGL for $124,818.63 in two transactions on 2026-07-13 and 2026-07-14.

Opaleye Management Inc, holding 493.9K shares (10% owner), executed 2 purchases totaling 1,695 shares for $124,818.63 at blended average price $73.64. The current price of $77.22 is -21.2% from the 52-week high of $97.97, placing the stock in a drawdown from its recent peak. At SLGL specifically, Opaleye has now completed two prior buys on 2026-07-01 and 2026-07-02, followed by these purchases on 2026-07-13 and 2026-07-14; outcomes from those earlier trades are not yet measurable. Across the insider's broader open-market history, 15 prior buys averaged +24.2% return at the 30-day mark, though the timing record at this specific ticker remains incomplete for assessment.

Opaleye Management (10% owner) bought 529 shares of SLGL for $39,041.55 across 2 purchases at $73.69–$73.95 on 2026-07-08 and 2026-07-10.

Opaleye Management executed 2 separate purchases totaling 529 shares for $39,041.55 at an blended average price of $73.80, a level that sits -24.5% from the 52-week high of $97.97 and only +0.6% above the 30-day average, suggesting acquisition near recent near-term equilibrium rather than at capitulation levels. The 10% owner's holdings increased modestly from 491,712 shares to 492,241 shares (+0.1%), a marginal addition to an already substantial position in a $206.0M market-cap company. Opaleye's cross-ticker track record shows 15 prior buys with an average 30-day return of +24.2%, though same-ticker history at SLGL consists of only 2 prior buy transactions (both 2026-07-01 and 2026-07-02, outcomes not yet measurable), offering limited insight into the insider's timing pattern at this specific holding.

Significance 6

10% Owner Opaleye Management buys 1,712 shares at $71.97 avg across 2 purchases for $123.2K

Opaleye Management Inc, a 10% shareholder of Sol-Gel Technologies, completed 2 separate purchases totaling 1,712 shares for $123,219.86 on July 1-2, 2026, at a blended average price of $71.97.

Notably, Opaleye's prior three purchases at SLGL across May 2026 all showed positive 30-day returns (+15.6%, +9.8%, +10.8%), though 90-day outcomes remain unmeasurable. The insider's cross-ticker buy track record shows 16 prior purchases with an average 30-day return of +13.0%, providing context for a pattern of historically favorable near-term performance after open-market purchases.

Significance 5

10% owner Opaleye bought 1,563 shares of SLGL at $64.43; stock now $76.73, up 4.4% in 30 days

Opaleye Management, holding 490.0K shares post-transaction, purchased 1,563 shares at $64.43 on 2026-05-20, a modest addition representing +0.3% vs pre-transaction holdings. The current price of $76.73 reflects a 30-day gain of +4.4% since the transaction, though the stock remains -21.7% from its 52-week high of $97.97. Within SLGL specifically, Opaleye's prior 4 trades show mixed outcomes: 2 of 4 prior buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark, though recent purchases on 2026-05-13 and 2026-05-12 posted only +2.2% and +0.5% 90-day returns respectively. Across all tickers, the insider's track record shows stronger execution (16 prior buys averaging +12.7% 30-day return, 75% 90-day win rate), but SLGL-specific timing has been inconsistent, warranting observation of whether this incremental purchase pattern continues or intensifies.

Significance 7

10% owner Opaleye Management adds 3,437 shares at SLGL, bringing stake to 488.4K shares amid -29.9% drawdown from 52-week high

Opaleye Management Inc, a 10% beneficial owner of Sol-Gel Technologies, purchased 3,437 shares totaling $231,502.33 on 2026-05-12, increasing its stake to 488,437 shares post-transaction. This accumulation occurs at a notably depressed valuation: the stock is trading at -29.9% from its 52-week high of $97.97 and down -10.2% over the prior 30 days, suggesting the insider is deploying capital into a weakness. The insider's historical track record shows 16 prior buys with an average 30-day return of +13.9% and a 90-day win rate of 100.00%, establishing a demonstrated pattern of bullish conviction on entry timing. Given Opaleye's substantial 10% ownership position and its track record of value-oriented purchases, this incremental buy into depressed prices warrants investor attention as a potential signal of conviction in Sol-Gel's recovery potential.

10% owner Opaleye Management buys 39,665 shares at $72.00 for $2,855,880.00

Opaleye Management executed 2 separate purchases totaling 39,665 shares for $2,855,880.00 at $72.00 per share on 2026-03-24. This transaction is notable because Opaleye is a 10% shareholder making a significant capital commitment ($2.9M) to increase its stake from a short position of -24,665 shares to a positive holding of 15,000 shares. Against current market price of $80.01, the buy occurred at an 10.0% discount to today's level, and the company's stock is down 4.7% over the past 30 days despite an 83.8% surge over 90 days. The insider's cross-ticker track record shows 16 prior buys against 4 prior sells, indicating a pattern of net accumulation across holdings. This multi-transaction filing represents a deliberate move to establish positive equity ownership.

Across the insider's broader open-market history, 19 prior buys averaged +38.3% 30-day returns, establishing a pattern of buying into upward momentum. The timing of recent purchases—made as the stock was in an extended rally—reflects purchases made during a strong price advance rather than at depressed valuations.

10% owner Opaleye Management Inc. bought 100 shares of SLGL at $58.00 on 2026-02-02; stock up 49.2% in 30 days, 106.1% in 90 days.

Opaleye Management Inc., a 10% shareholder, purchased 100 shares at $58.00, adding modestly to holdings of 450.9K shares. The transaction itself is small relative to existing position (+0.0% vs pre-transaction holdings), yet occurs against a backdrop of rapid recent price appreciation: the stock has advanced 49.2% over 30 days and 106.1% over 90 days from the transaction date. The insider's cross-ticker track record shows 19 prior buys averaging +37.3% 30-day return, indicating a general pattern of favorable short-term entry timing across holdings. At the same ticker (SLGL), the insider has executed 5 trades in January–early February 2026; the two earliest measurable outcomes (January 2nd and 5th purchases) each posted +53% gains within 30 days, suggesting continued favorable positioning in this name.

Significance 7

10% owner Opaleye Management bought 3,324 shares at blended $56.36 over 2 days; 5 consecutive prior buys at SLGL in 5 days signals sustained accumulation.

Opaleye Management, a 10% owner of Sol-Gel Technologies, executed 2 purchases totaling 3,324 shares for $187,356.50 on January 22–23, 2026, at a blended average price of $56.36. This filing follows 5 consecutive prior buys at SLGL spanning December 29, 2025 through January 5, 2026—a pattern of sustained open-market accumulation within a narrow 7-calendar-day window. The current price of $58.44 sits 19.0% below the 52-week high of $72.10, and the stock has advanced 34.2% over the preceding 30 days and 49.8% over 90 days. Across Opaleye's broader cross-ticker trading history, 17 prior open-market buys averaged a 30-day return of +28.9%, though timing outcomes at SLGL remain unmeasurable for all 5 same-ticker trades. The repeated open-market purchases by a principal shareholder during a period of price strength warrants attention to underlying company dynamics and the catalyst driving this accumulation pattern.
