"% of total stake" is the shares in an event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings are not confirmed, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

Outside holders, reported separately

Novo Holdings A/S and Catalyst4, Inc. reported no open-market sales in the past 12 months. Large shareholders and the funds or companies that board members represent are not part of management, so they are left out of the figures above.

Common questions

Is the MapLight Therapeutics, Inc. CEO selling stock?

Yes. Christopher Kroeger sold 403K shares ($12.5M) in the past 12 months, 52% of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are MapLight Therapeutics, Inc. insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 69% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 31% were to cover taxes. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any MapLight Therapeutics, Inc. insiders buying?

Yes. 3 officers or directors reported 5 purchases in the past 12 months (Form 4 code P; rows the filings describe as reinvested dividends, plan purchases, private deals or moves into the person's own trust are not counted).

What explains the selling$29.2M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $29.2M across 986,277 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($9.1M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

Taxes

$11.7M of sales (40.1%) cite tax obligations in their footnotes, $2.6M of them also under a plan. Separately, 417,355 shares ($7.5M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale. Example: James Lillie, Jul 17, 2026

Purchases · 3 buyers (5 trades)

3 officers and directors bought shares in this period, in 5 trades(Form 4 code P, leaving out rows the filings describe as reinvested dividends, plan purchases, private deals or moves into the person's own trust). Across all their filings on record there are 5 purchase trades.

Known gaps and uncertainty14 officers and directors not confirmed

Holdings and share of stake are being verified. Balances, unit counts and every share-of-stake figure for MapLight Therapeutics, Inc. are held back until that check is finished. Sales, proceeds, plan and tax status, titles and dates come straight from individual filings and are complete.

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology94 filings on record, 94 filed in the 12-month period, and how we read them

All 94 Forms 3, 4 and 5 on record for MapLight Therapeutics, Inc. (SEC CIK 1770069), filed from Oct 27, 2025 to Sep 18, 2026; 94 of them were filed in the 12 months this page covers, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 13, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
