Analysis
This Form 4 filing indicates a significant open market sale by Mark N. Tompkins, a 10% owner of Aeluma, Inc., disposing of over $1.5 million in common stock. This transaction, representing a notable portion of the company's market capitalization, contributes to a recent pattern of substantial shareholder reductions. It follows a Form 4 filed on January 23, 2026, reporting another 10% owner's sale of over $2.0 million, and a Schedule 13D/A on January 2, 2026, where a former executive significantly cut their stake.
