Director Calicott Shane bought 375,000 shares at $4.00 in VIDA IPO allocation (May 2026).
Director Christopher Shane purchased 375,000 shares at $4.00 on 2026-05-14, acquiring a $1,500,000.00 position in VIDA Global Inc. This transaction was a private placement or IPO allocation, not a discretionary open-market purchase. The stock has since traded down to $2.24 current price as of 2026-05-18, just 22 trading days after the company's recent listing. The mark-to-market loss reflects early post-listing volatility rather than a signal of director conviction or conviction loss; allocation prices in IPO/PIPE contexts are often set at underwriting terms unrelated to secondary market discovery.
