The president and chief operating officer of Netezza Corp., whose products enable companies to store and analyze large amounts of data, exercised options for 50,000 shares of common stock under a prearranged trading plan, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings Wednesday.
In Form 4s filed with the SEC, James Baum reported he exercised the shares Monday for $2.50 apiece and then sold all the shares the same day for $12.44 to $13.10 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.
Netezza is based in Marlborough, Mass.
