Tesla's Musk exercises all of his stock options expiring next year
Tue, December 28, 2021, 10:01 PM
San Francisco (Reuters) -Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk has exercised all of his options expiring next year, signaling an end to his stock sales that triggered a fall in the share price of the world's most valuable carmaker.
Musk said last week that he would reach his target of selling about 10% of his stake in Tesla "when the 10b preprogrammed sales complete," likely referring to his options-related stock sales.
Since early November, he has exercised options expiring next year and sold a portion of Tesla stock to pay tax under a "rule 10b5-1" trading plan set up in September.
With the option exercise on 1.6 million shares on Tuesday, he has exercised all of the options on 22.8 million shares, which are due to expire in August. He also sold 934,090 shares for $1.02 billion to pay for taxes, the filings showed.
