DocuSign (DOCU) CEO dumps 42% of shares for $5.7 million

Sharing is Caring!

by stockocean

DocuSign’s CEO Allan Thygesen just sold ~42% of his shares yesterday (Dec 19) for $5.7 million.

This is especially interesting given the The Wall Street Journal reported last Friday (Dec 15) that Docusign is exploring a sale…

The sale was effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan (pre-planned sale) so may have triggered despite (not because of) the announcement.

See also  Whistleblower Alert! The SEC awards $98 million to two whistleblowers, meaning the fine levied ranged between $326,666,666.67 and $980,000,000 dollars.

But the size of the sale is still quite unusual. DOCU stock has risen ~38% over the last month given the recent bull run.

Pure speculation but some potential reasons on Allan’s selling of shares:

– General liquidity needs

– Lack of confidence in deal going through, realizing profits on recent run up

– Allan stepping down as CEO

Any other reasons?
