Jeffrey E. Eberwein, serving as Chief Executive Officer, Director, and a ten percent owner of Star Equity Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: STRR), has completed a series of acquisitions that increase his direct holdings in the company. The transactions, totaling $56,048 in value, were executed over a two-day period between June 15 and June 16, 2026. The purchase price per share varied within this window, ranging from $11.01 to $11.21.
On the first day of the transaction period, June 15, 2026, Mr. Eberwein purchased 6 shares of common stock at a price of $11.01 per share. The following day, June 16, 2026, he acquired an additional 4,994 shares at a price of $11.21 each. These specific purchases contribute to an expanded direct ownership position, bringing his total direct holdings in Star Equity Holdings common stock to 1,110,714 shares.
This total direct holding figure includes 21,125 shares of restricted stock and 6,750 restricted stock units (RSUs). Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock upon settlement. In addition to these direct holdings, Mr. Eberwein indirectly owns 2,000 shares through contributory 401(k) and IRA accounts. These indirect holdings are separate from the direct ownership figures cited above.
The insider purchases occur while the company's stock is trading at $11.08, a price point near its 52-week high of $11.99. Market analysis suggests the stock may be undervalued, with a calculated Fair Value of $12.45, indicating potential upside. The company has recorded a 30% return over the past year.
Concurrently with the insider buying activity, Star Equity Holdings has entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. This agreement permits the company to offer and sell up to $8.7 million in preferred stock, specifically its 10% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. The agreement does not obligate the company to sell any specific number of shares. Instead, the sales agent will make commercially reasonable efforts to sell shares based on instructions provided by the company.
Further corporate developments include updates to executive compensation plans for 2025 and 2026. The Compensation Committee has approved modifications to the 2025 executive incentive compensation program. Under the revised structure, CEO Jeffrey E.
