📄 Summary

Micallef Jacob Vincent, Chief Scientific Officer at VOLITIONRX LTD (VNRX), sold 5,850 shares on October 04, 2025, at an average price of $0.65, realizing proceeds of about ~$3,790.80. Despite the sale, he retains 393,089 direct shares and 93,113 indirect shares. For retail traders, this is a neutral event: routine tax-withholding disposition rather than an opportunistic open-market sale.

🔑 Interpretation

  • Type: Comp-related (tax-withholding to satisfy withholding obligations upon RSU settlement)
  • Disposition: Shares were not sold on the open market by the reporting person; shares were retained/cancelled by the issuer to satisfy tax withholding (per footnote).
  • Size Context: The withholding (5,850 shares, ~ $3.8k) is small relative to the insider's direct holdings (393,089 shares) — under ~2% — and looks like routine tax-related disposition rather than significant profit-taking.
  • ATH Metric: I cannot verify the stock's all-time high/low in this environment. Please consult a live market data source; based on the $0.648 trade price, this transaction does not, on its face, appear to be an opportunistic sale near a recent all-time high.
  • Outlier Check: Not unusually large compared to other officers' contemporaneous withholdings reported on the same date; consistent with standard RSU tax withholdings rather than an unusual/large disposition.

📊 Bullish or Bearish?

Decide: Neutral

Neutral. The filings show code F tax-withholding dispositions (issuer retained shares to satisfy withholding) with small proceeds relative to holdings — a routine, comp-related event rather than a discretionary sell signal. Data completeness is high for this transaction, but cluster activity cannot be determined from this filing alone.

✅ Bottom Line (Retail Takeaway)

This transaction looks like routine tax-withholding rather than a bearish signal. For retail traders, it’s noise, not a tradeable event — not worth short-/mid-term action unless corroborated by sales from VolitionRx’s CEO, CFO, or multiple insiders.
