- The shares were disposed at $480.79 per share for a total transaction value of approximately $2,094,802.
- This was a sale (not a purchase); sales by insiders are common and do not by themselves indicate company prospects.
Key Details
- Transaction date and price: March 10, 2026 — 4,357 shares at $480.79 each.
- Total proceeds: ~$2,094,802.
- Report filed: March 12, 2026 (filed within the standard two-business-day Form 4 window).
- Reported as an open-market or private sale (code S).
- Notable footnote: F1 — sale made under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan entered August 22, 2025 (trades under such plans are scheduled in advance).
- Other footnotes in the filing describe various option/RSU vesting schedules and 1:1 share conversion mechanics (F2–F13) but are not directly tied to this sale in the provided excerpt.
- Shares owned after the transaction: not disclosed in the provided data.
Context
- The sale was executed under a 10b5-1 plan, which typically allows insiders to sell shares according to a preset schedule regardless of subsequent company developments.
- Because this is a sale (code S) and was pre-planned, it should be interpreted cautiously; it does not necessarily signal management’s view on Linde’s future performance.
