Insights
Executive exercised stock options and sold shares in a routine compensation-related transaction.
The EVP & Chief Commercial Officer exercised 9,433 non-qualified options at an exercise price of $101.34 on January 29, 2026, converting them into Ordinary Shares. This reflects use of previously granted equity under Seagate’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, which vests over four years.
He then sold 9,414, 1,348, and 9,433 Ordinary Shares in separate trades at weighted average prices around $440 per share. After these moves, he still held 3,092 Ordinary Shares and 18,867 options, so he retains ongoing equity exposure.
The option grant continues to vest monthly through the remainder of its four-year schedule, as noted in the footnotes. Future company filings may show additional monthly vesting and any related exercises or sales as they occur under this plan structure.
