Frequently Asked Questions

Mr. Molloy has adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which is a pre-arranged plan for selling company stock. These plans are commonly used by executives to diversify their personal investment portfolios or to sell shares over time in an orderly manner, without being perceived as trading on material non-public information.

Not necessarily. Rule 10b5-1 plans are often put in place for personal financial planning reasons, such as diversification or to fund life events. The plan allows for sales over a period of time and is established when the executive is not in possession of material non-public information. The number of shares is also relatively small compared to the total outstanding shares.

The plan provides for the sale of up to 14,936 shares. The actual number of shares sold may be less, depending on market conditions and the specified thresholds within the plan.

The plan is designed to minimize market impact by allowing sales over an extended period and at prevailing market prices, potentially with minimum price thresholds. Given the relatively small number of shares involved compared to the total trading volume of Motorola Solutions stock, a significant impact is unlikely.
