- As a 10% owner and director with holdings both directly and via BFI, Bendheim’s transactions include sales under a pre-established 10b5‑1 plan — a common method for insiders to sell shares according to a pre-set schedule. These sales do not by themselves indicate his personal view of the company’s prospects.
