Bradford Thomas Adamczyk, who serves as a director at APPLIED ENERGETICS, INC. (NASDAQ:AERG), recently reported several stock transactions to the SEC on May 11, 2026. These filings provide specific details regarding his recent activity involving company equity and options.
Specifically, Mr. Adamczyk conducted a sale of common stock shares alongside the exercise of non-qualified stock options. The transaction included selling 10,000 shares of APPLIED ENERGETICS common stock at a price of $1.50 per share. This disposal generated a total value of $15,000 for Mr. Adamczyk.
The sale price was noted as being slightly higher than the prevailing market valuation of $1.48 per share. Despite this minor premium over the current stock price, which has appreciated 37% over the past year, the shares have experienced an 18% decline when viewed year-to-date.
In conjunction with the sale, Mr. Adamczyk also exercised non-qualified stock options to acquire another 10,000 shares of APPLIED ENERGETICS common stock. These newly acquired shares were purchased at a significantly lower exercise price of $0.07 per share, resulting in an expenditure of $700.
The original issuance of these options was tied to services rendered by Mr. Adamczyk in his capacities as both an officer and director within the company structure. Following these specific transactions, Mr. Adamczyk's direct holdings increased. He now directly possesses 671,482 shares of APPLIED ENERGETICS common stock.
Beyond his direct ownership, Mr. Adamczyk maintains substantial indirect holdings in the company. Through Moriah Stone Global L.P., a partnership where he acts as a controlling partner, he indirectly holds 1,563,599 additional shares of common stock.
Overview of Total Holdings and Derivatives
The reporting also detailed Mr. Adamczyk's overall stake in the company through derivative instruments. Directly, he holds a substantial amount of 1,310,000 non-qualified stock options. Furthermore, his indirect holdings include an additional 3,500,000 non-qualified stock options. Of this larger indirect pool, 500,000 options are held under the name of Adamczyk Family 2021 LLC, a family limited liability company which he controls.
It is important to note that none of these indirectly held options were exercised during the reported period, and the underlying shares associated with them remained unaffected by the transactions described above. The overall picture paints a picture of significant commitment through both owned stock and derivative positions.
