XpresTest repurchases 279.5 RSAs for $2.7M ahead of sale; XWELL now owns 100% of subsidiary
XWELL, Inc.
- XpresTest, Inc., a XWELL subsidiary, bought back 279.5 restricted stock awards for about $2.7M cash, or $9,634.09 per share; no XpresTest RSAs remain outstanding.
- Chairman Bruce T. Bernstein received $1,030,847.61 for 107 RSAs; CEO Ezra T. Ernst $529,874.94 for 55; CFO Ian Brown $96,340.90 for 10, five of which vested at repurchase.
- The $9,634.09 per-share price matches the value Buyer Express Wellness Group and XWELL agreed for the RSAs under the July 6, 2026 Securities Purchase Agreement.
- All previously unvested RSAs became fully vested; the other 107.5 shares were held by five current or former employees and service providers.
- Paid early with Buyer consent, so these amounts will not count toward XWELL's unpaid sale expenses that would otherwise cut the Buyer's purchase price dollar-for-dollar.
