CREDIT ACCEPTANCE (CACC) Director Kenneth Booth Exercises Options, Sells Shares

What Happened

Kenneth Booth, an executive board member and director of Credit Acceptance Corp (CACC), exercised stock options and immediately sold the resulting shares in two cashless transactions. He exercised 4,000 options on 2026-01-30 and 4,000 options on 2026-02-02 at an exercise price of $333.94 each (exercise cost $1,335,760 each time). He sold the 4,000 shares acquired on 2026-01-30 in the open market at $494.00 ($1,976,000) and sold the 4,000 shares acquired on 2026-02-02 at $514.00 ($2,056,000). Total gross sale proceeds for those two sales were about $4,032,000. Separately, 1,390.6 shares were withheld on 2026-01-31 to cover tax withholding related to RSU settlement (value reported ~$692,853), and he was granted 135 shares on 2026-02-01.

Context

This was effectively a cashless exercise: Booth exercised options and immediately sold the shares, a common way to realize gains and cover exercise/tax costs. The separate tax-withholding entry reflects shares surrendered to cover tax obligations from RSU vesting. The filing also notes Booth’s retirement-related forfeiture of unvested RSUs and the shortened post-termination option expiration, which are administrative consequences of his retirement rather than market-timing signals.
