SpyGlass Pharma (SGP) 10% Owner RA Capital Buys 3.69M Shares
What Happened
- RA Capital Management, L.P. (listed as a 10% owner/adviser) made open-market/private purchases of 3,441,966 and 248,034 shares of SpyGlass Pharma (SGP) on Feb 9, 2026 at $16.00 per share, spending $55,071,456 and $3,968,544 respectively (total = 3,690,000 shares for $59,040,000).
- The Form 4 also reports multiple “conversion of derivative security” entries totaling 4,331,117 shares (several acquisition and matching disposition conversion entries). Footnote F1 explains all preferred shares automatically converted one-for-one into common stock immediately prior to the IPO; the conversion entries appear to reflect that automatic conversion and internal allocation among related funds rather than additional open-market trades.
Key Details
- Transaction date: February 9, 2026; Form 4 filed February 11, 2026 (filed timely).
- Purchase price: $16.00 per share; total cash spent on purchases = $59,040,000.
- Conversion activity: 4,331,117 shares converted from preferred to common (per F1); offsetting conversion dispositions in the filing indicate internal reallocation between related entities, not separate market sales.

Context
- This filing reflects institutional activity by a 10% holder (adviser-managed funds), not an individual officer selling shares. Large purchases like this are more informative to watch than routine sales, but filings are descriptive — they do not state the purchaser’s motives.
- The conversion entries are a common post-IPO housekeeping item when preferred converts to common stock; they do not necessarily indicate new buying or selling in the market.
