% of holdings sold = shares sold ÷ (shares sold + all holdings the insider reported on that Form 4, direct and through trusts).
Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.

From Contineum Therapeutics, Inc.'s Latest SEC 10-K Filing (filed 2026-03-05)
Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)
- We have built our current pipeline with the goal of minimizing clinical risk.
- Our collaboration provides a foundation for the development of PIPE-307 with access to J&J's robust R&D and commercialization capabilities, which we believe will allow us to achieve the full potential of PIPE-307.
- To that end, we have developed a selective calpain inhibitor which was recently moved into preclinical studies.
Partnerships
- We recognize that partnerships may provide a more prudent development path in certain cases to reduce costs and accelerate the delivery of effective therapies to market, as exemplified by our partnership with J&J.
- In February 2023, we entered into a license agreement with J&J, under which we granted J&J an exclusive, worldwide license to develop, manufacture and commercialize PIPE-307 in all indications ("J&J License Agreement").
Legal & Regulatory Risks (Item 1A, quoted)
- We currently have no products that are approved for commercial sale and may never be able to develop a marketable product.
- We may experience delays in initiating and successfully completing the clinical trials that we intend to conduct, including our current and planned clinical trials for PIPE-791.
- We may not be successful in our efforts to identify and develop additional drug candidates or identify additional indications. Due to our limited resources and access to capital, we must prioritize development of a limited number of drug candidates, the choice of which may prove to be wrong and adversely affect our business and prospects.
- We have and may continue to conduct future clinical trials outside of the United States. The FDA and other regulatory authorities or ethics committees may not accept data from such trials, in which case our development plans will be delayed, which could materially harm our business and financial condition.
