OceanPal Inc. (NASDAQ:SVRN) spiked 40.16% to $0.31 in after-hours trading on Wednesday.

Sweeping Leadership Reset Triggers Market Reaction

Chief Financial Officer Vasiliki Plousaki, Chief Accounting Officer Konstantina Tsakiri and Co-CEO Robert J. Perri filed on Tuesday, with Co-CEO Salvatore J. Ternullo, Secretary Margarita Veniou, and the directors filing on Wednesday.
According to the filing, Co-CEO Ternullo was granted 822,156 restricted stock units, with 25% vesting on Sept. 1 and the remainder releasing monthly over 36 months.
