Significance 4/10

Director F L Iii Garrett bought 1,394 shares at FRST over 5 days (avg $14.46); 0 of 3 prior same-ticker buys were well-timed at 90 days.

F L Iii Garrett executed 5 separate purchases totaling 1,394 shares for $20,156.51 between May 22–29, 2026, increasing his holdings by 3.1% to 46,634 shares. The blended average price was $14.46, slightly above the current price of $14.36 and near the 52-week high of $14.97. Examining his prior trades at Primis, Garrett's three prior same-ticker buys show inconsistent timing: the 2025 purchases posted modest 30-day gains (+0.9% and +2.1%) but turned negative by 90 days (-2.8% and -2.6%), while the December 2024 buy was deeply underwater at both horizons (-14.1% at 30 days, -20.2% at 90 days). Across all tickers and all open-market history, his track record shows 0 of 3 prior buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with an average 90-day return of -8.5%. The current purchase near the 52-week high and just -2.3% from the 30-day mark, combined with this historical pattern of post-purchase declines, offers limited reassurance on timing accuracy.

3,660 shares

Significance 6/10

Director Garrett F L III buys 3,660 shares of FRST at $12.32; part of 3-insider cluster buy in past 14 days

Director Garrett F L III purchased 3,660 shares at $12.32, increasing his holdings to 41,169 shares (+9.8% vs pre-transaction holdings). This transaction is part of a cluster pattern with 3 other insiders also buying within the past 14 days, which signals coordinated interest at the current valuation. The transaction is notable given that the company reported negative full-year net income over its most recent full fiscal year, yet insiders are accumulating shares near the middle of the 52-week range ($9.55–$13.67). The stock is currently at $12.46, only 1.1% above the transaction price, so the buy occurred at approximately current market levels rather than a significant discount, and the recent 30-day price gain of +2.5% provides context that the stock has been gradually recovering.
