Summary
This 8-K filing from Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (RCL) reports on the termination of a pre-arranged stock trading plan by its Chairman & CEO, Richard D. Fain. The plan, established in February 2017 under Rule 10b5-1, was intended for asset diversification and allowed for the sale of up to 360,000 shares between March 2017 and September 2018, contingent on specific minimum market prices. Mr. Fain has sold a total of 320,000 shares under this plan prior to its termination.
