Insights

Equity compensation and insider-trading analyst

Small, pre-planned insider sale with most shares retained.

Chief Administrative Officer Jonathan Allison sold 3,900 shares of Root, Inc. Class A Common Stock at $43.61 per share in an open-market transaction. The filing shows this as a straightforward sale of non-derivative shares.

Following the sale, Allison still directly owns 89,979 shares, so the transaction represents only a small portion of his visible holdings. A footnote states the sale was made under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, indicating it was pre-scheduled rather than opportunistic.

No derivative positions are listed, and there are no accompanying grants, tax withholdings, or restructurings in this filing. The disclosure mainly updates Allison’s equity stake and records execution of his existing trading plan.
