Semrush Holdings insider Dmitry Melnikov reported a non-discretionary sale of 1,408 shares of Class A common stock on 10/01/2025 at a weighted average price of approximately $7.15 per share to satisfy tax withholding tied to RSU vesting. After the transaction Mr. Melnikov beneficially owned 1,281,956 shares directly and maintains substantial indirect holdings across family trusts and entities totaling 17,599,855 shares (sum of disclosed indirect amounts plus direct holdings as listed).

The filing clarifies the sale was solely to cover withholding obligations and not a discretionary trade. Multiple trusts and entities are listed as indirect owners, and the reporter disclaims Section 16 beneficial ownership for several of those trust-held positions except as to any pecuniary interest.

Il dirigente di Semrush Holdings Dmitry Melnikov ha riportato una vendita non discrezionale di 1.408 azioni ordinarie di Classe A in data 10/01/2025 a un prezzo medio ponderato di circa $7.15 per azione per soddisfare l'obbligo di ritenuta fiscale legato al vesting degli RSU. Dopo la transazione, il signor Melnikov deteneva direttamente 1.281.956 azioni e mantiene consistenti partecipazioni indirette attraverso trust familiari ed entità che, nel complesso, ammontano a 17.599.855 azioni (somma degli importi indiretti divulgati più le partecipazioni dirette indicate).

La documentazione chiarisce che la vendita è avvenuta esclusivamente per coprire gli obblighi di ritenuta e non si tratta di una vendita discrezionale. Diversi trust ed entità sono indicati come proprietari indiretti, e il segnalatore declina la qualifica di beneficial ownership ai sensi della Sezione 16 per molte di queste posizioni detenute da trust, salvo per eventuali interessi pecuniari.

Insights

Insider sold 1,408 shares to cover RSU taxes; retains large direct and indirect holdings.

What it means: The sale was reported as non-discretionary and tied to RSU vesting, indicating the reporter did not initiate a market-timing sale.

Why it matters: Although the sold amount (1,408 shares at ~$7.15) is small relative to the reporter's aggregated holdings, disclosures of trust ownership and disclaimers affect how Section 16 beneficial ownership is interpreted for control and voting analysis.
