A director of Bare Escentuals Inc., which sells cosmetics and body-care products, sold 25,000 shares of common stock under a prearranged trading plan, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing Wednesday.
In a Form 4 filed with the SEC, John Hansen reported he sold the shares Monday for $25 apiece.
The stock sale was conducted under a prearranged 10b5-1 trading plan which allows a company insider to set up a program in advance for such transactions and proceed with them even if he or she comes into possession of material nonpublic information.
Insiders file Form 4s with the SEC to report transactions in their companies' shares. Open market purchases and sales must be reported within two business days of the transaction.
Bare Escentuals is based in San Francisco.
