Carvana (CVNA) COO Benjamin Huston Exercises Options and Sells Shares

What Happened
Benjamin E. Huston, COO of Carvana (CVNA), exercised stock options and sold shares in early February 2026. On Feb 2 he exercised 10,000 options at $10.07/share (cost ≈ $100,700) and sold 10,000 shares in multiple open‑market trades that day for about $4.11M. Separately, on Feb 1, 1,219 shares were withheld to cover taxes on vested restricted stock units (withholding proceeds ≈ $488,953). Total proceeds from disclosed sales ≈ $4.60M. The filing also reports a related derivative conversion of 10,000 shares reported at $0.00 (non‑cash reporting item).

Key Details

  • Transaction dates: Feb 1, 2026 (tax withholding) and Feb 2, 2026 (option exercise and open‑market sales). Filing date: Feb 3, 2026.
  • Sales: 10,000 shares sold on Feb 2 across many trades (proceeds ≈ $4,112,739) + 1,219 shares withheld on Feb 1 for taxes (proceeds ≈ $488,953) = ≈ 11,219 shares sold/withheld for ≈ $4.60M.
  • Option exercise: 10,000 shares exercised at $10.07 ($100,700 cash paid). A related derivative line reports 10,000 shares at $0.00 (non‑cash reporting).
  • Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the filing.
  • Notable footnotes: Sales/exercises were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5‑1 trading plan (F2); the 1,219 share disposition was tax withholding on RSU vesting (F1); option vesting schedule noted (F21). Multiple footnotes list trade price ranges and VWAP reporting where applicable.
  • Timeliness: Filed Feb 3 covering Feb 1–2 activity; appears to be a timely Form 4 filing.

Context

  • The combination of exercising options at a low exercise price ($10.07) and selling shares at ~$394–$418 range indicates a routine exercise + sale (often used to cover taxes, exercise costs, or diversify). The filing’s 10b5‑1 note indicates the sales were planned under an automatic trading plan.
  • The $0.00 derivative line likely reflects non‑cash reporting treatment of option conversion/settlement and should be read as part of the exercise/settlement mechanics, not an independent $0 sale.
  • As with all insider filings, these are factual disclosures of transactions — they do not, by themselves, indicate the insider’s view of the company beyond the trades reported.
