"Includes shares sold pursuant to a 10b-1 plan adopted on January 6, 2026."
weighted average sale price financial
"The price reported above reflects the weighted average sale price."
restricted stock units (RSUs) financial
"Includes shares to be issued in connection with the vesting of one or more restricted stock units (RSUs)."
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a type of company promise to give employees shares of stock in the future, usually after certain conditions like working for a set time. They are like a gift promised today that you receive later, which can become valuable if the company's stock price goes up. RSUs matter because they are a way companies reward employees and can be a significant part of compensation.
pecuniary interest financial
"disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest"
beneficial ownership regulatory
"The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares except"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
FAQ
Does the CrowdStrike (CRWD) Form 4 show George Kurtz using a trading plan?
Yes. A footnote explains that the reported sales include shares sold under a 10b-1 plan adopted on January 6, 2026. Such pre-arranged trading plans are designed to systematize insider sales and reduce the significance of short-term market timing.
Are the CrowdStrike (CRWD) CEO’s reported sales a large portion of his holdings?
The tables show direct holdings remaining above 8 million shares after each reported sale, while the sales themselves total 20,000 shares. Based on these figures, the transactions represent a relatively small fraction of the reported direct position.
What roles does George Kurtz hold at CrowdStrike (CRWD) in this Form 4?
The Form 4 identifies George Kurtz as both a director and an officer of CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc., with the officer title “PRESIDENT AND CEO.” These roles mean his equity transactions are closely monitored through SEC insider reporting.
