This Form 4 filing reveals that Paul Paradis, who serves as both Director and President of Sezzle Inc. (SEZL), reported that his spouse sold 3,000 shares of common stock on June 24, 2025, at a price of $148.62 per share. This transaction represents a relatively small proportion of the family's overall holdings in the company. The sale was executed under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan that was established on December 2, 2024, approximately seven months prior to the transaction.
Following this transaction, Paradis's spouse still maintains 266,000 shares, while Paradis himself directly holds 528,382 shares. Additionally, the Paradis Family LLC controls another 504,066 shares, though the filing notes that Paradis disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest.
The total family holdings after this transaction remain substantial at 1,298,448 shares, indicating that this sale likely represents routine portfolio management rather than a significant reduction in their position. The implementation of a 10b5-1 plan suggests the transaction was part of a predetermined trading strategy, which typically helps insiders avoid accusations of trading based on material non-public information by establishing the trading parameters in advance.
