Executive Summary

John M. Gay, Chief Financial Officer of Pelthos Therapeutics Inc., filed a Form 3 disclosing initial beneficial ownership of equity awards granted in 2025, including 30,518 restricted stock units (RSUs) and stock options to purchase 93,000 shares at $13.50 per share. The filing is routine and reflects standard compensation arrangements.

Key Facts

  • John M. Gay, CFO, filed Form 3 for initial beneficial ownership as of April 10, 2026, reporting equity awards granted on July 2, 2025.
  • The filing includes 30,518 RSUs that vest one-third on July 2, 2026, and ratably quarterly over the following two years.
  • Also included are stock options to purchase 93,000 shares at $13.50 per share, with identical vesting terms.
  • No shares were acquired or sold in this filing; it is a required initial ownership disclosure under Section 16.

Financial Impact

No immediate financial impact. Awards were granted in 2025 and this is a delayed reporting requirement. Total potential dilution from unvested RSUs and options is 123,518 shares, or approximately 0.16% of a $77M market cap at current price.
