Anthropic Considers Mandatory Employee Stock Trading Plans Following IPO
Anthropic is considering requiring all employees to sell stock through preset 10b5-1 trading plans after its IPO to address insider trading concerns, according to reports citing informed sources. These plans, typically used by executives, would set schedules for timing, amount, and price of stock sales. Discussions with advisers are ongoing, and the company is also evaluating shareholder sale limits on the first trading day and post-IPO lockup periods. No official decision has been announced.
