LEVINSON ARTHUR D 4

What Happened
Arthur D. Levinson, a director of Apple Inc., disposed of 250,000 AAPL shares in two open-market sales on May 6, 2026, generating about $71.19 million (149,527 shares at a weighted avg. $284.57 = $42,550,898; 100,473 shares at a weighted avg. $285.04 = $28,638,824). In the same filing he also transferred (gifted) 5,000 shares (reported at $0.00).

• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided excerpt — check the complete Form 4 for post-transaction holdings.
• Footnotes: The two sale lines were executed in multiple trades; the weighted averages are reported and full trade-by-trade details are available on request per the filing.

Context

• These were sales (not purchases or option exercises). Sales by directors can be routine (diversification, personal liquidity, tax planning) and do not by themselves indicate company prospects. The isolated gift likewise does not signal market sentiment.
• Retail investors who track insider activity should view this as significant in dollar terms but remember to compare with Levinson’s remaining holdings and any broader insider trading patterns before drawing conclusions.
