[144] Belden Inc. SEC Filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Belden Inc. (BDC) – Form 144 filing overview

The notice discloses a proposed sale of 3,232 common shares by insider Jay Wirts through broker Fidelity Brokerage Services on or about 24 June 2025 on the NYSE. The shares—valued at approximately $368,788—derive from several restricted-stock vesting events dated between 1 July 2023 and 21 February 2024. Belden has 39,496,863 shares outstanding; the planned sale represents roughly 0.008 % of total shares.

Over the past three months Wirts has already disposed of 7,583 shares (gross proceeds ≈ $864,602). Including the upcoming transaction, total recent dispositions would reach 10,815 shares. No material adverse information is claimed by the filer, and the filing is designated as LIVE.

The filing signals continued insider selling but, given the small percentage of outstanding shares, is unlikely to have a material impact on Belden’s capital structure.

Positive

• None.

Negative

• Continued insider selling: Jay Wirts plans to sell 3,232 shares after disposing of 7,583 shares in May, which may signal reduced insider confidence despite small float impact.

Insights

Corporate Governance & Insider-Trading Analyst

TL;DR: Insider plans to sell 3,232 BDC shares after recent sales; modest size, mildly negative sentiment.

The Form 144 shows Jay Wirts—presumably a senior executive—intends to sell 3,232 shares worth $368.8 k. This follows two prior sales in May totaling 7,583 shares and $864.6 k, bringing cumulative recent dispositions to 10,815 shares. While insider selling can signal caution, the transaction accounts for less than 0.01 % of Belden’s float, limiting structural impact. Nevertheless, consecutive sales within a short window may raise questions among investors about executive confidence or personal liquidity needs. No positive catalysts are disclosed, and the filing contains no operational or earnings data. Overall market impact should be minor but directionally negative on sentiment.
