*Alyn Holt, inTESTco-founder and former Executive Chairman, passed away in May 2017. His heir has been liquidating his position since his death and their ownership fell below 10% at Sept. 30, 2017, at which point they were no longer required to file reports on their ownership with inTEST Corporation (as their account is broken into sub accounts where no account is in excess of 5% of the company’s outstanding shares). inTEST believes that his heir has fully liquidated their position in INTT as of today’s publication date, although this had not yet been confirmed.
