OCONNOR SEAN MICHAEL 4

What Happened Sean Michael O'Connor, Executive Vice‑Chairman and Director of StoneX Group Inc. (SNEX), exercised stock options for a total of 80,000 shares (40,000 on Feb 9, 2026 and 40,000 on Feb 10, 2026) at a $20.00 strike price and then sold the resulting shares in the open market the same days. The exercises required $1,600,000 in aggregate cash (80,000 × $20.00). The subsequent sales generated aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $9,980,360 (40,000 shares sold at an average $124.95 on Feb 9 = $4,997,900; 40,000 shares sold at an average $124.56 on Feb 10 = $4,982,460). The filing also reports derivative conversion entries recorded at $0 related to the exercises.

Context This is an option exercise followed by immediate open‑market sales (a cashless or near‑cashless exercise pattern), meaning the insider converted options into shares and sold them the same days. Such exercises with same‑day sales are common for executives monetizing vested options; they are factual disclosures and do not by themselves indicate management’s future view of the company.
