In open-market terms, that means 6 purchases worth €106k on one side and 23 sales worth €3.3M on the other. Netting one side against the other leaves €3.2M of net selling. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. The rest of the record consists of 34 share grants and 30 option exercises. In 2016 alone, the filings show 1 purchase and 5 sales.

A typical purchase (the median) is worth €10k.

The newest entry dates from 16 June 2016: an open-market sale of €67, in Breitburn Energy Partners LP. The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 3,961 days ago, on 4 January 2016. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 2 days. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. Selling is not necessarily a view on the stock: liquidity needs and diversification are common motives. This summary is built from SEC (Form 4) disclosures alone and does not predict where the share price will go.
