"% of total stake" is the shares in this event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings don't reconcile, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

What stands out

Seven insiders bought shares: Lawrence Kurzius (22K shares, $1.3M), Albert White III (10K shares, $808K) and Walter Rosebrough Jr. (10K shares, $542K), plus 4 more.Lawrence Kurzius: purchase, Sep 16, 2026 · Albert White III: purchase, Dec 16, 2025 · Walter Rosebrough Jr.: purchase, Sep 11, 2026
Tax withholding outweighed market sales: the company withheld $2.3M of officers' and directors' shares for taxes, against $0 sold on the open market. The largest was Albert White III ($783K withheld).Largest withholding, Jan 8, 2026

Percentages cover 12 of 14 officers and directors. Left out: Barbara Carbone and Paul Keel (held no vested shares at the start). Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

14 of 14 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (14 exactly, 0 with a minor or footnoted difference). Percentages cover 12 of 14 officers and directors. Left out: Barbara Carbone and Paul Keel (held no vested shares at the start). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

Known gaps and uncertaintyEvery officer and director reconciles

Every officer and director reconciles for this period.

Inferred rename: "held in 401K" is treated as the same holder as "401(k)", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (20,432 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "Jody S. Lindell Seperate Property Trust" is treated as the same holder as "Jody S. Lindell Separate Property Trust", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (25,000 shares). Old name, new name

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology1,438 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 1,438 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Cooper Companies (SEC CIK 711404) from Mar 7, 1997 to Sep 17, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 48 older filings exist only on paper and could not be read.

Probable 4-for-1 stock split on or before Feb 16, 2024 (split date stated in a footnote). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 10 holding lines changed by exactly this ratio, so earlier share counts are restated.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
