Insider sales (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (IT)
0 of 5 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-27 | Kranich Robin B | EVP & CHRO | 3,278 | $644K | 13.9% | No | Opportunistic (traded every year 2023–2025, no repeating month) |
| 2026-08-24 | Jain Akhil | EVP, Consulting | 700 | $141K | 7.9% | No | Opportunistic (traded every year 2023–2025, no repeating month) |
| 2026-08-10 | Genovese Yvonne | EVP, Bus. & Tech. Insights | 1,205 | $229K | 16.3% | No | Opportunistic (traded every year 2023–2025, no repeating month) |
| 2026-08-07 | Fuchs Anne Sutherland | Director | 860 | $159K | 6.3% | No | Routine (sold in Jun each year 2023–2025; this trade is outside those months) |

% 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.
