3 terms

weighted average price financial

"The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price."

Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.

open market or private transaction financial

"Sale in open market or private transaction"

Rule 10b5-1 regulatory

"The Rule 10b5-1 checkbox is not selected for these transactions"

Rule 10b5-1 is a regulation that allows company insiders to buy or sell their shares at predetermined times, even if they have access to non-public information. It acts like setting a schedule in advance for transactions, helping prevent accusations of unfair trading. This rule provides a way for insiders to plan trades transparently, giving investors confidence that these transactions are not based on hidden information.

FAQ

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

What insider trading activity did CME (CME) report for Terrence A. Duffy?

CME reported that Chairman and CEO Terrence A. Duffy sold 15,000 shares of Class A common stock on September 10, 2026 in open-market or private transactions, as reflected in two sale entries on the Form 4.

At what prices were the CME (CME) shares sold by the CEO?

One block of 14,372 shares had a weighted average price of $274.41, with individual trades from $273.875 to $274.85. The other block of 628 shares had a weighted average price of $275.03, with trades from $274.9056 to $275.0804.

Were the September 10, 2026 CME (CME) insider sales under a Rule 10b5-1 plan?

No. The Form 4 indicates the Rule 10b5-1 checkbox is not selected, and the footnotes describe pricing details only, so these reported sales are not affirmed as being made under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.

How many separate CME (CME) sale transactions did the Form 4 report?

The Form 4 reports two sale transactions in CME Class A common stock for Terrence A. Duffy on September 10, 2026, totaling 15,000 shares sold when combining the reported share amounts.

Does the CME (CME) Form 4 show the CEO’s holdings after these sales?

No. For both reported sales, the Form 4 leaves the field for shares beneficially owned following the transaction blank, so it does not state Terrence A. Duffy’s post-transaction position.
