Playboy (PLBY) CFO Marc Crossman Sells Shares

What Happened

  • Marc Crossman, Playboy's Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, sold a total of 210,682 shares in open-market transactions across three dates to cover tax withholding related to restricted stock unit (RSU) settlements. The sales generated total proceeds of $269,969 (~$270K).
    • 2026-06-29: 67,728 shares at a weighted-average price reported as $1.33 — proceeds $90,214 (see footnote F2).
    • 2026-06-30: 70,954 shares at a weighted-average price reported as $1.28 — proceeds $90,885 (see footnote F3).
    • 2026-07-01: 72,000 shares at a weighted-average price reported as $1.23 — proceeds $88,870 (see footnote F4).
  • These are sales (transaction code S) and, per the filing (footnote F1), were made solely to cover the reporting person's tax withholding obligations from RSU settlement — a routine, non-directional action rather than an express buy/sell signal.

Context

  • Sales to cover tax withholding following RSU settlement are common and do not necessarily indicate the insider's view on the company's near-term prospects.
  • Because these were sales (not purchases), they are generally viewed as routine administrative actions rather than a bullish signal.
