Cloudflare (NET) CFO Thomas Seifert Sells 10,000 Shares After Exercise
What Happened
- Thomas J. Seifert, Chief Financial Officer of Cloudflare (NET), exercised/converted 10,000 derivative shares and sold 10,000 shares in multiple open‑market transactions on January 20, 2026.
- The sales totaled approximately $1,783,681 across seven trade blocks: 928 @ $176.27 ($163,577); 3,472 @ $177.17 ($615,139); 1,800 @ $178.08 ($320,537); 1,200 @ $179.41 ($215,297); 1,900 @ $180.09 ($342,171); 600 @ $181.27 ($108,762); 100 @ $181.98 ($18,198).
- These actions look like an immediate sale following exercise/conversion of derivative securities (exercise price reported as $0.00 for the derivative entries in the filing).
Key Details
- Transaction date: January 20, 2026; Form filed January 21, 2026 (timely).
- Sales executed in multiple tranches at prices ranging roughly from $175.70 to $181.98 (weighted averages reported per block; see footnotes for exact ranges).
- Total proceeds from the open‑market sales: ≈ $1,783,681.
- Derivative activity: 10,000 shares were exercised/converted (derivative entries at $0.00); the 10,000 shares acquired through those actions were sold (net change for these shares = 0).
- Sales were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5‑1 trading plan adopted Nov 26, 2024 (footnote F2).
- Footnotes indicate certain shares are held of record by Center Court entities/trusts for which Seifert serves as partner or trustee (F10–F13).
- The filing excerpt does not state Seifert’s total post‑transaction holdings; related derivative shares were fully vested and immediately exercisable (F9).
Context
- This is a routine insider transaction pattern: exercise/conversion of derivatives followed by immediate open‑market sales, executed under a pre‑arranged 10b5‑1 plan. That structure is commonly used to meet tax or diversification objectives and does not, by itself, imply new insider sentiment.
- For retail investors: purchases are generally more informative about insider confidence than planned sales. Here, the activity appears procedural (exercise + sale under a 10b5‑1 plan) rather than an ad hoc sale.
