Insights

CEO/director/10% owner executed modest pre-planned share sales; overall ownership remains large and diversified across several trusts.

The filing shows the **CEO, director, and 10% owner** of **Live Oak Bancshares, Inc.** disposing of small blocks of **voting common stock** on 12/03/2025. Two sales occurred from the **James S. Mahan Revocable Trust**, totaling **10,000 shares** (6,082 and 3,918) at weighted average prices of about $32.9214 and $33.2414, coded as sales ("S"). These are reported as **indirect holdings**, meaning the securities are owned through a trust rather than directly.

The explanation confirms these trades were made under a **Rule 10b5‑1 trading plan** adopted on August 27, 2025. A 10b5‑1 plan is a preset trading program that can reduce concerns around the timing of insider transactions. After the reported sales, the trust still holds **3,117,844** shares, and other related entities hold additional blocks: **3,032,547**, **127,167**, **127,167**, and **140,150** shares, all as indirect ownership. This leaves the reporting person with a very substantial remaining stake spread across multiple trusts.

The filing describes routine execution of a pre‑established plan rather than a new compensation arrangement or change in role. The key items to watch going forward are any **future Form 4s** indicating continued sales under the same Rule 10b5‑1 plan and any noticeable changes in the cumulative indirect holdings across the listed trusts over the next several months.
