SAKAMOTO RYAN T. 4

What Happened
Ryan T. Sakamoto, EVP and Chief Legal Officer of ZipRecruiter, sold 2,169 shares of ZIP stock in an open-market disposition on January 20, 2026. The weighted-average sale price was $2.62 per share for total proceeds of approximately $5,673; individual sale prices ranged from $2.53 to $2.76. This was a sale (not a purchase), which is often routine and does not by itself indicate a change in insider sentiment.

Context
Sales under 10b5-1 plans are pre-scheduled arrangements that allow insiders to sell holdings without contemporaneous decision-making; they are common and often routine. For retail investors, purchases typically carry more informational weight than routine sales—this single small-value sale does not, by itself, signal a change in the company’s fundamentals.
