This Form 4 filing confirms the actual sale of shares by Director Wen Hsuan Hsieh, following a Form 144 filing on the same day indicating intent to sell. The disposition of over $7.6 million in common stock, partially sourced from option exercises, represents a notable sale by a key insider. While option exercises often precede sales for liquidity or tax purposes, the substantial open market sale adds to the recent pattern of insider selling at Amprius Technologies.
