Insider sales (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (USAR)
0 of 2 under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (scheduled in advance). Unplanned sales were timed by the insider.
| Trade date | Insider | Role | Shares | Value | % of holdings sold | 10b5-1 plan | Insider type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Humpton Barbara | Former Chief Executive Officer | 88,391 | $1.2M | 40.3% | No | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023–2025) |
| 2026-06-08 | Trabuco Carolyn | Director | 13,000 | $296K | 40.9% | No | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023–2025) |
% 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 USA Rare Earth, Inc.'s Latest SEC 10-K Filing (filed 2026-03-30)
Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)
- Our plan is to build an integrated platform to encompass the entire rare earth value chain: extraction and separation of rare earth oxides; conversion of oxides into metals, alloys and strip-cast; and production of sintered neodymium-iron-boron ("NdFeB") permanent magnets.
- The Colorado Facility serves as the technical engine driving our proprietary extraction and separation technology platform, which is the foundational intellectual property underpinning our entire processing approach.
- We have applied for a U.S. patent in connection with our proprietary methods for metal extraction.
- Generally, we rely on a combination of trade secret protection, non-disclosure and licensing agreements, patents and trademarks to establish and protect our proprietary intellectual property rights.
Partnerships
- As discussed further above, on March 4, 2026, we entered into the TMRC Merger Agreement with respect to the proposed TMRC Mergers.
- Less Common Metals has a strategic partnership with Solvay SA ("Solvay"), a multinational chemical company, to supply rare earth metals to Permag LLC, a leader in high-precision magnets and magnetic assemblies, and Arnold Magnetic Technologies Corporation, a producer of advanced permanent magnets.
Legal & Regulatory Risks (Item 1A, quoted)
- We will be required to obtain and maintain governmental permits and approvals to develop and operate the Projects, a process which is often costly and time-consuming. Failure to obtain or retain any necessary permits or approvals for our planned operations may negatively impact our business.
- We may not be able to obtain or renew permits or approvals that are necessary to our planned operations, or we may discover that the cost and time required to obtain or renew such permits and approvals exceeds our expectations.
- The U.S. has imposed, and could impose in the future, broad-ranging tariffs on imports from some of its largest trading partners. In retaliation, many countries have imposed, and could impose in the future, counter-tariffs on U.S.-produced items. Tariffs have spurred, and could continue to spur, additional retaliatory moves by affected countries, including by China and the European Union member states.
