Under Insiders heading is the title, Insider and 144 form filings.
Who is an insider?
An insider is an officer, director, person with a policy-making role, or beneficial owner (holder of 10% or more) of a company's stock. Insiders are both individuals and corporations, and are required to report their:
Direct Holdings and Indirect Holdings
Form 144s must be filed as notice of the proposed sale of restricted securities. Restricted securities are those that are acquired directly or indirectly from an issuer or an affiliate in a transaction (or chain of transactions) not involving a public offering.
Not all Form 144 filers are insiders. Any entity owning restricted stock must file a Form 144 prior to selling the restricted stock. Any insider who files a Form 144, must file a Form 4 if and when the sale is completed. To determine if a given filer is an insider, you may click on the insider name. If the individual is listed as a shareholder, he or she is not an insider.
An insider may file a Form 144 and not actually complete the sale. If the sale was completed, the insider should have filed a Form 4, indicating the transaction was completed.
The Form 144 must be filed prior to, or on the approximate date, of sale. Insiders are governed by SEC regulations when they file a Form 144. The following considerations should be kept in mind when you are searching Form 144s. These considerations apply to insiders only - see the above definition (not shareholders or restricted stock owners):
The filing of Form 144 is not required in any case where the amount of stock to be sold during any three (3) month period does not exceed 500 shares and the aggregate sale value does not exceed $10,000.
If the seller does not sell all the stock covered by the form within 90 days after the filing, the filing process must be repeated before the commencement of further sales, except in cases where the passage of time has extended the seller's holding period.
