[Form 4] DraftKings Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

DraftKings Inc. (DKNG) – Form 4

Chief Legal Officer Dodge R. Stanton reported routine equity-compensation activity dated 08/01/2025. A total of 808 Class A shares were issued upon the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs). To cover withholding taxes, 354 shares were automatically surrendered to the issuer at $43.73, resulting in a net addition of 454 shares. Direct ownership now stands at 500,454 Class A shares. Table II shows 5,653 RSUs still outstanding from a 9,692-unit grant awarded on 02/10/2025 that vests monthly over one year.

The filing involves no open-market transaction and reflects standard payroll-tax withholding. Given the small size relative to DraftKings’ public float and the administrative nature of the event, investor impact is expected to be minimal.

Positive

• Insider equity alignment: the Chief Legal Officer increased direct ownership by 454 shares, reinforcing management–shareholder alignment.

Negative

• Tax-related share surrender: 354 shares were disposed of to cover withholding taxes, slightly offsetting the gross RSU vesting.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Routine RSU vesting; net +454 DKNG shares, minimal market impact.

This Form 4 details the conversion of 808 RSUs by DraftKings’ Chief Legal Officer, offset by 354 shares surrendered for taxes. Post-transaction holdings rise to 500,454 shares, with 5,653 RSUs unvested. The absence of an open-market trade means no immediate supply-demand effect. Volume is immaterial versus the company’s total share count, so the disclosure is neutral for valuation. Nonetheless, continued equity accumulation keeps management incentives aligned with shareholders.
