Taboola Insider Filing: Minor Apollo Share Sale Under Buyback Plan

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Taboola.com Ltd. (TBLA) – Form 4 insider transaction filed 7 July 2025

An Apollo Management–affiliated group that is a 10 %+ shareholder reported the disposition of 194,353 non-voting ordinary shares at $3.66 per share. The transaction, coded “J,” was executed directly with the issuer under Taboola’s share-repurchase program and is designed to keep the group’s ownership from exceeding the 25 % threshold, as noted in Footnote 1.

After the sale, the group continues to hold 32.50 million non-voting shares and 39.53 million ordinary shares, all reported as indirect ownership through multiple Apollo-controlled entities. No derivative securities, option exercises, or changes in board roles were disclosed.

The dollar value of the sale is roughly US $0.7 million, representing a small fraction of the group’s total ~72 million-share position and an immaterial percentage of Taboola’s overall share count. Consequently, the filing is viewed as administratively driven rather than a signal of strategic or sentiment change.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Very small insider sale to manage ownership cap; unlikely to move TBLA valuation.

The Apollo-led shareholder group disposed of just 194 k non-voting shares—about 0.6 % of its non-voting stake and far below 1 % of Taboola’s total shares outstanding. The use of code “J” and the explicit reference to the issuer’s repurchase program indicate a pre-arranged, administrative transaction intended to prevent the group from breaching a 25 % ownership ceiling. Remaining holdings of ~72 million shares affirm Apollo’s long-term exposure. With no change in directorships, no derivatives involved, and a cash value under US $1 million, the market impact should be negligible.
