Century therapeutics officer sells shares worth $1,451

PHILADELPHIA—Gregory Russotti, the Chief Technology and Manufacturing Officer at Century Therapeutics , Inc. (NASDAQ:IPSC), recently executed a sale of company stock. The transaction comes as Century Therapeutics trades near its 52-week low of $0.57, having declined 87% over the past year. According to a recent SEC filing, Russotti sold 2,360 shares of Century Therapeutics’ common stock on March 10, 2025, at a price of $0.615 per share. The transaction totaled $1,451. InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently undervalued.

The filing also noted that this sale was conducted to cover tax withholding obligations related to the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs). These sales were automatic and not at Russotti’s discretion. The company, with a market capitalization of $50.7 million, currently maintains a weak financial health score according to InvestingPro metrics.

In addition, Russotti acquired 120,000 RSUs on March 11, 2025, which were granted at no cost. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the company’s common stock. These RSUs are set to vest 25% on March 11, 2026, with the remaining 75% vesting quarterly over the following three years, contingent upon his continued service with the company.

Following these transactions, Russotti holds 392,573 shares directly. Additionally, the Gregory Russotti 2021 Family Trust holds 92,773 shares indirectly.
