Insights
CEO exercised options for 70k shares and sold 40k under a pre-set 10b5-1 plan, retaining a large stake.
The filing shows CareDx CEO John Walter Hanna Jr. exercising employee stock options for 70,000 shares at an exercise price of $8.20 per share, then selling 40,000 shares of common stock on June 26 and June 29, 2026. The reported weighted average sale price was $29.244 per share, within a range of $29.00 to $29.58.
The sale was executed pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on December 12, 2025, meaning the trades were pre-scheduled rather than opportunistic. After these transactions, Hanna directly owns 661,959 shares, so the 40,000 shares sold represent a relatively small portion of his disclosed holdings, suggesting a routine liquidity event rather than a major change in alignment.
The options exercised stem from a grant with vesting beginning April 15, 2025 and continuing monthly, expiring on April 14, 2034. With the derivativeSummary now showing no remaining derivative positions from this award in the excerpt, the filing highlights a shift from option-based to share-based exposure, while maintaining substantial ownership in the company.
