PubMatic president Mukul sells shares worth $50,268

Kumar Mukul, President of Engineering at PubMatic, Inc. (NASDAQ:PUBM), recently sold a portion of his holdings in the company. According to a recent SEC filing, Mukul sold 5,401 shares of Class A Common Stock on April 2, 2025. The shares were sold at a weighted average price of $9.31, resulting in a total transaction value of $50,268. The transaction comes as PubMatic’s stock trades near its 52-week low of $8.32, having declined over 64% in the past year.

The sale was conducted to cover tax withholding obligations related to the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units (RSUs). This transaction was part of a "sell to cover" strategy, where shares are sold to meet tax liabilities arising from equity compensation.

In addition to the sale, Mukul acquired a total of 13,861 shares of Class A Common Stock through multiple transactions on April 1, 2025. These acquisitions were made at no cost as part of the vesting of RSUs. Following these transactions, Mukul now holds 60,465 shares in the company directly.

These transactions reflect Mukul’s ongoing management of his equity compensation as part of his role at PubMatic, a company specializing in digital advertising technology.
