David A. Dunbar, President, CEO, Chairman and Director of Standex International (SXI), sold a total of 13,000 shares in open-market transactions on August 31, 2026, for total proceeds of approximately $3,780,608.

Context

• These sales were executed under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan, which is commonly used to automate insider sales and reduce concerns about trading on non-public information.
• Sales under a 10b5-1 plan are typically considered routine; they do not necessarily indicate management’s short-term view of the company's prospects. Purchases generally carry more informational weight for investors than routine sales.
