3 terms

Rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory

"The filing indicates the transactions were made under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan"

A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a pre-arranged schedule that allows company insiders to buy or sell stock at specific times, even if they have inside information. It helps prevent accusations of unfair trading by making these transactions look planned and transparent, rather than sneaky or illegal.

weighted average price financial

"The price reported in Column 4 is the weighted average price"

Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.

Were the September 15, 2026 VRSN insider sales made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan?

Yes. The filing indicates the transactions were made under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, meaning the sales followed a pre-established plan rather than discretionary same-day decisions.

How many separate sale transactions did the VRSN CEO report on Form 4?

The CEO reported four sale transactions of VeriSign common stock, all dated September 15, 2026, each with its own share amount and weighted-average sale price based on multiple underlying trades.

Does the Form 4 disclose the CEO’s VRSN share holdings after these sales?

No. For each of the reported sale transactions, the post-transaction holdings field is left blank, so the filing does not state the number of VeriSign shares held after these sales.
