- These were sales (code S). Sales are often routine (e.g., diversification or liquidity) and do not necessarily signal a change in insider sentiment.
Key Details
- Transaction date: April 24, 2026. Filing date (Form 4): April 27, 2026 — appears timely (filed within the SEC two-business-day window).
- Prices / proceeds: see individual trades above; total proceeds ≈ $4.16M.
- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
- Notable footnotes:
- Several footnotes indicate shares are held in trusts (for family members or for the reporting person) with varying trustee roles and disclaimers of beneficial ownership.
- Some price entries are reported as weighted-average values; the filing notes sales occurred in small price ranges (e.g., $277.8401–$277.99 and $278.5201–$278.6) and the issuer can provide a detailed breakout on request.
Context
- These were open-market sales (not option exercises or gifts). For retail investors, purchases are generally more informative about insider confidence; routine sales like this can reflect personal financial planning rather than a view on company fundamentals.
- Trust holdings and disclaimers in the footnotes can affect how much Blinn’s remaining exposure to TXN shares should be interpreted; the filing lists trustee relationships and disclaimers rather than plain beneficial-ownership transfers.
