Insider sales (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (DAVE)
1 of 3 under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (scheduled in advance). Unplanned sales were timed by the insider.
| Trade date | Insider | Role | Shares | Value | % of holdings sold | 10b5-1 plan | Insider type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-04…2026-06-05 | Preston Dan | Director | 550 | $140K | 9.6% | Yes (adopted December 10, 2025) | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023) |
| 2026-06-02 | Beilman Kyle | CFO and COO and Secretary | 4,122 | $1.1M | 2.1% | No | Routine (traded in Jun each year 2023–2025) |
| 2026-06-02 | Wilk Jason | Chief Executive Officer | 8,474 | $2.3M | 2.4% | No | Opportunistic (traded every year 2023–2025, no repeating month) |
% of holdings sold = shares sold ÷ (shares sold + all holdings the insider reported on that Form 4, direct and through trusts).
Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.

From Dave Inc.'s Latest SEC 10-K Filing (filed 2026-03-02)
Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)
- Rapid innovation: Our proprietary Machine Learning Platform enables our team to develop, train, and deploy new AI models with minimal engineering support, accelerating product iteration in response to market dynamics.
- According to the Financial Health Network ("FHN") in 2025, approximately 185 million Americans are classified as financially "coping" or "vulnerable" representing 69% of the U.S. population, up from 66% in 2021.
- Since inception, CashAI has leveraged insights from over 180 million ExtraCash originations and billions of bank transactions, a proprietary cash flow dataset that we believe provides a structural advantage in real-time credit decisioning.
- We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as license agreements, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements, and other contractual protections, to establish and protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, including our proprietary technology, software, know-how, and brand.
Partnerships
- If our present or any future key banking relationships are terminated and we are not able to secure or successfully migrate client portfolios to a new bank partner or partners, or a bank partner becomes subject to regulatory restrictions or other operational disruptions, our business would be adversely affected." We have a multi-year service agreement with Galileo Financial Technologies, LLC ("Galileo"), a payment processing platform.
- In January 2023, we executed an amended agreement with Galileo that significantly reduced processing fees.
Legal & Regulatory Risks (Item 1A, quoted)
- The Company records an accrual for a loss contingency when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
- We have been and may in the future also be subject to investigations and potential enforcement actions that may be brought by state regulatory authorities, state attorneys general or other state or local enforcement authorities and other governmental agencies.
- We face the risk that one or more of the variables included in our proprietary machine learning engine or other models may be deemed a proxy for a protected characteristic such as race, ethnicity, or sex in violation of the ECOA.
- The financial services industry continues to be highly regulated and subject to new laws or regulations in many jurisdictions, including the U.S. states and localities in which we operate, which could restrict the products and services we offer, impose additional compliance costs on us, render our current operations unprofitable or even prohibit our current or future operations.
