Gitlab Inc. (NASDAQ:GTLB), a $7.16 billion market cap software company whose stock has declined 25% year-to-date, saw its Executive Chair of the Board Sytse Sijbrandij recently execute a significant stock sale, according to a regulatory filing. On April 15, Sijbrandij sold 108,600 shares of Gitlab’s Class A common stock at an average price of $42.87 per share. This transaction totaled approximately $4.66 million.
The shares were sold through the Sytse Sijbrandij Revocable Trust, of which Sijbrandij is the sole trustee. This sale was conducted under a pre-arranged trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1, which allows company insiders to set up a predetermined plan to sell stocks.
Following this transaction, Sijbrandij’s trust no longer holds any shares of Gitlab’s Class A common stock. The transaction was part of a broader strategy that also involved the conversion of 108,600 shares of Class B common stock into Class A shares, although this conversion itself did not involve any cash exchange.
