Context
These were open‑market sales (disposals), which are common for liquidity, diversification, or household-level planning and do not, by themselves, indicate management’s view of the company’s prospects. The Form 4 lists substantial outstanding option grants and trust holdings, so Mr. Cote retains derivative exposure to Vertiv even after these sales.
