The executive did not divulge the reason for the sale, which left her with a remaining 732,500 shares.

Further adding to the sentiment was the lack of fresh developments to boost buying.

In its latest announcement earlier this month, ASP Isotopes Inc. (NASDAQ:ISP) said that it successfully obtained all regulatory approval for its planned acquisition of Renergen Ltd. in an all-stock deal.

Under the agreement, ASP Isotopes Inc. (NASDAQ:ISP) would pay Renergen shareholders 0.09196 new ASP Isotopes shares for each unit they own.

Renergen is a public company engaged in the production of liquefied helium (LHe) and liquefied natural gas (LNG), and is funded by the United States government, given helium’s strategic significance.

The two parties believed that their merger would create a global leader in the production of critical and strategically important materials, including electronic gases such as helium, various fluorinated products, and isotopically enriched gases.
