When SPTX insiders can sell
Seaport Therapeutics, Inc. · IPO prospectus filed 2026-05-01 · Single cliff · 180-day lock-up
That is the calendar date the clause computes to, counted from the prospectus date. It is the only date computable without knowing a future earnings date, which is why everything that could pull it earlier is printed below it on this page rather than folded into it.
How much stock, against how much trades
"Absorb days" is the shares coming free divided by average daily volume: how many full sessions of SPTX's entire turnover the release amounts to. It is a ratio, not a forecast — it does not know who wants to sell, and a founder with no intention of selling counts the same as a fund that has been waiting six months.
Exactly 38,867,817 shares, against 242,950 shares a day averaged over 20 sessions. Volume source: yahoo-finance2 daily bars (symbol not in our price table), through 2026-11-06. Dollar volume $5.2M a day. Heaviest third of the cohort.
Our call: Pressure
SPTX sits in the heaviest third of a cohort of 47 deals — lightest third at or below 54.1 sessions, heaviest at or above 109 sessions. The call is cohort-relative, not a fixed threshold, so the same absorb-day figure could read differently against a different month's IPOs. Expected excess return against SPY: negative.
Issued 2026-09-27, 31 days before the expiry, as call SPTX-2026-10-28. The ledger is append-only and lives in git, so the date on that row cannot be moved after the fact — which is the entire reason these calls are published ahead of the event instead of tested afterwards.
The lock-up clause, in the issuer's words
Every other free lock-up calendar tells you 180 days and moves on. This is the actual sentence the date above was computed from, so that if the words do not support the number, the number is wrong and the filing is one click away.
…will agree with the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any of our or their common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock, or collectively, the Lock-Up Securities, during the period from the date of this prospectus continuing through the date 180 days after the date of this prospectus, except with the 229 Table of Contents prior written consent of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and the Company. This agreement does not apply to any existing employee benefit plans.

Where the share count comes from
38,867,817 shares — derived: shares outstanding after the offering, less the shares sold in it. A count the prospectus prints and a count derived from two of its other numbers are not the same quality of claim, so which one this is gets said rather than implied.
| Shares outstanding after the offering | 53,027,817 |
| Shares sold in the offering | 14,160,000 |
| Underwriters' over-allotment option | 2,124,000 |
| Locked up, coming free at expiry | 38,867,817 |
Common stock to be outstanding immediately after this offering 53,027,817 shares (or 55,151,817 shares if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of common stock in full) We will have two series of common stock authorized immediately following this offering: voting common stock and non-voting common stock. We are offering voting stock in this offering and unless otherwise noted, all references in this prospectus to our "common stock" refer to our voting common stock. The non-voting common stock will not be listed for trading on any securities exchange.
Exceptions written into the lock-up (5)
Each of these is a route by which SPTX shares can move before 2026-10-28. The 10b5-1 carve-out is the one worth reading twice: it lets insiders put a selling plan in place during the lock-up, so the first sales can be automatic and immediate rather than discretionary and later.

- bona fide gift or charitable transfer
- estate planning or family transfer
- directed share program participants
- option exercise or RSU settlement

How this call scored
Not yet graded. Scoring needs the close on or before 2026-10-28 plus the next 5 and then 21 sessions, so a result cannot exist before those sessions have happened. This space is empty because the clock has not run, not because the result is being withheld — and when it fills, it fills whichever way the market went. The full scoreboard publishes every graded leg against the naive baseline that every unlock gets absorbed.
How this reading of SPTX could be wrong
The lock-up period is restated 2 times in this prospectus. Issuers repeat the clause on the cover, in the summary, in the risk factors and in the underwriting section, and the wording is not always identical. The parser resolved them to one period; if a reader finds a restatement that disagrees, the quote above is the one it used.
The volume is a vendor's, not ours. SPTX is not in our own price table, so average daily volume comes from yahoo-finance2 daily bars (symbol not in our price table). Vendor bars for recently listed symbols are the ones most likely to be wrong.
Only 20 sessions of volume history. This is a recent IPO, and early volume is dominated by the offering itself. An average over 20 sessions of a stock that has barely traded is the weakest input on the page, and absorb days inherits every bit of that weakness.
The parser can misread a filing. That is why every number here is printed next to the words it came from. Earlier versions of this parser read the underwriters' 30-day over-allotment window as a 30-day lock-up on five deals, and double-counted one issuer's share total because the offering summary appears on both the cover and in the summary section.
Also unlocking in 2026-10 (10)
Lock-ups cluster, because IPOs cluster: these priced in the same window as SPTX and come free in the same month. Several heavy releases landing together is a different situation from one.
