Form 144 regulatory

"Filer Information | 144: Filer Information"

Form 144 is a document that investors must file with the government when they plan to sell a large number of shares of a company's stock. It helps ensure transparency so everyone knows how many shares are being sold and when, which can impact the stock's price.

broker-dealer financial

"Merrill Lynch 225 Liberty Street Floor 37"

A broker-dealer is a licensed firm or individual that both executes trades on behalf of clients (acting as a broker) and buys or sells securities for its own account (acting as a dealer). Investors care because broker-dealers provide the plumbing of markets — they place orders, hold or move cash and securities, offer research or advice, and their stability and fees directly affect trade execution, costs, and the safety of client funds; think of them as a combined travel agent and taxi for your investments.

FAQ

What does Booking Holdings' Form 144 report mean for BKNG shareholders?

It notifies the SEC of a proposed sale by an affiliate; the filing lists 1,125 shares and $216,000.00. This is an administrative disclosure tied to an RSU vesting on 05/30/2024, not proof the sale occurred.

Who is the broker listed on the Booking Holdings Form 144?

The filing shows Merrill Lynch at 225 Liberty Street as the broker-dealer. The entry appears alongside the sale row and the transaction date 04/17/2026, indicating the broker intended to handle the proposed sale.

Are the shares in the Form 144 newly issued or from equity compensation?

The entry states the securities resulted from an RSU vesting on 05/30/2024 and were granted under the issuer equity compensation plan. That indicates the shares originated from compensation rather than a new issuance.

Does this Form 144 confirm the shares were sold on the market?

No. Form 144 is a notice of proposed sale and does not confirm execution. The filing lists the proposed quantity and a date, but public trade records or a Form 4/transaction report would confirm completion.
