Belden Inc SEC Filings

Form 4 filing summary – Belden Inc. (BDC)

On 07/10/2025, President & CEO Ashish Chand purchased 219 shares of Belden Inc. common stock under the company’s 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) at an effective price of $96.62 per share. The ESPP allows employees to buy shares at 85% of the lower closing price at the start or end of the semi-annual offering period (01/01/2025–06/30/2025). Following the transaction, Chand directly owns 160,862 shares and indirectly holds 1,124.5395 shares through the Belden Retirement Savings Plan, maintaining his dual role as Director and President & CEO.

The purchase represents an incremental increase of roughly 0.14% to Chand’s direct stake and an immaterial percentage of Belden’s outstanding shares. No derivative securities were reported. Because the ESPP is a routine, broad-based plan funded via payroll deductions and because of the small share amount relative to Chand’s existing holdings, the market impact is expected to be negligible. Nevertheless, insider purchases—even modest ones—can be interpreted by some investors as a signal of executive confidence in the company’s prospects.

Belden Inc. (BDC) filed a Form 4 disclosing that Brian E. Anderson, SVP, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary, purchased 219 shares of common stock on 07/10/2025 through the company’s 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The purchase price was $96.62 per share, reflecting the 15% ESPP discount to the lower of the period’s beginning or ending market price. Following the transaction, Anderson directly owns 43,479 shares; he also has an indirect holding of 1,046.51 shares in the company’s 401(k) plan. The transaction is coded “J,” indicating an acquisition pursuant to an employee benefit plan rather than an open-market buy. While the dollar value (≈$21,000) is modest relative to Anderson’s total holdings, insider participation in the ESPP can be viewed as a vote of confidence in Belden’s long-term prospects.

Belden (NYSE:BDC) filed a Form 4 on 26-Jun-2025 for EVP Automation Solutions Brian Lieser.

On 24-Jun, Lieser exercised 1,200 stock appreciation rights at a $61.79 strike, issuing the same number of common shares. Of these, 904 shares (valued at $113.51) were withheld for taxes and 296 shares were sold on 25-Jun at $114.32, generating roughly $34 k. All trades occurred under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted 7-Nov-2024.

Post-transaction ownership stands at 37,405 shares directly plus about 505 shares via the 401(k) plan. The activity represents a small fraction of Lieser’s holdings and does not indicate any operational or strategic change for Belden.

Belden Inc. (NYSE: BDC) has filed a Form 144 notifying the SEC of a proposed sale of 296 common shares by an affiliated holder. At an implied value of $33,838.72, the transaction is scheduled for 25 June 2025 via Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC on the NYSE. The stake equals less than 0.001 % of the company’s 39,496,863 shares outstanding, making the sale immaterial to the overall float.

The seller acquired the stock the same day through a Stock Appreciation Right (SAR) classified as compensation. The filing also discloses a prior sale of 297 shares on 14 May 2025 that generated $33,751.08 in gross proceeds. No 10b5-1 plan adoption date, special remarks, or undisclosed material information were indicated. Other key issuer details, such as address and SEC file number, were left blank in the notice.

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.
