The chief financial officer of SunPower Corp., a solar power products maker, exercised options for 25,000 shares of common stock under a prearranged trading plan, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
In three Form 4s filed Tuesday with the SEC, Emmanuel T. Hernandez reported he exercised the options Friday for $3.30 apiece and then sold all 25,000 shares on the same day for $87.30 to $88.68 apiece.
The stock sale was conducted under a prearranged 10b5-1 trading plan, which allows company insiders to set up a program in advance for such transactions and proceed even if they come 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.
SunPower is based in San Jose, Calif.
