Quan, completed two related equity moves on April 10, 2026: a sale of 20,000 common shares for $207,200 and the exercise of 20,000 options priced at $4.87 each. These actions took place while the company's stock was trading close to a 52-week peak and after the company disclosed quarterly revenue growth and a development collaboration with Tower Semiconductor.
On April 10, 2026, Snizhana P. Quan, who serves as Principal Financial Officer at Lightwave Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ:LWLG), sold a block of 20,000 shares of common stock for proceeds totaling $207,200. The sale occurred at prices between $10.35 and $10.385 per share.
That same day Quan exercised options to acquire an additional 20,000 shares at an exercise price of $4.87 per share, representing a cash outlay of $97,400 to convert the options into common stock.
Following the sale and the option exercise, Quan's reported holdings include 51,125 shares of Lightwave Logic common stock held directly, plus an indirect holding of 4,800 shares through a domestic partner. She is also listed as directly holding 55,000 options.
The price action around the transaction reflected a company trading near its 52-week high of $10.62. Over the preceding 12 months the stock had registered a return of approximately 1,015%.
Separately, market commentary captured by a proprietary analysis indicated that the stock appears overvalued at current levels, and noted the availability of expanded research on the company through a paid research product.
Lightwave Logic's corporate filings and disclosures also included its fourth-quarter results for 2025, which showed revenue up 147% year-over-year. The company attributed that increase primarily to licensing revenue and non-recurring engineering work. Despite the top-line improvement, Lightwave Logic stated it remains in a pre-commercialization stage.
In addition to its financial results, the company announced a development agreement with Tower Semiconductor to integrate Lightwave Logic's electro-optic polymer modulator technology into Tower's PH18 silicon photonics platform. The agreement targets modulator reference designs aimed at bandwidths of 110GHz and beyond and is intended to allow Tower customers to design optical modulators capable of supporting 400G per lane within photonic integrated circuits.
News of the Tower Semiconductor collaboration and the company updates prompted a notable market reaction, with Lightwave Logic shares rising by as much as 30% in premarket trading on the announcement.
