Officers and directors, past 12 months. Their share of stake is being verified and is not shown yet; amounts and trading plans are below.
Officers and directors, Oct 2025 to Oct 2026. Each sale is counted once: under a disclosed plan, else to cover taxes, else no plan disclosed.
| Who | Shares | Price | % of total stake | Total stake after | Trade date | Filed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Joelle Smith President | 6,554 | $21.56 | n/a | n/a | Sep 16, 2026 | Sep 18, 2026 |
"% of total stake" is the shares in an 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 are not confirmed, 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.
Silver Lake Group, L.L.C. sold $275M in the past 12 months. Large shareholders and the funds or companies that board members represent are not part of management, so they are left out of the figures above.
No. Scott Staples reported no open-market sales in the past 12 months.
Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 100% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.
Yes. 1 officer or director reported 1 purchase in the past 12 months (Form 4 code P; rows the filings describe as reinvested dividends, plan purchases, private deals or moves into the person's own trust are not counted).

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.
Holdings and share of stake are being verified. Balances, unit counts and every share-of-stake figure for First Advantage Corp are held back until that check is finished. Sales, proceeds, plan and tax status, titles and dates come straight from individual filings and are complete.
External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.
All 542 Forms 3, 4 and 5 on record for First Advantage Corp (SEC CIK 1210677), filed from Jun 12, 2003 to Sep 18, 2026; 29 of them were filed in the 12 months this page covers, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 13, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 3 filings were left out because First Advantage Corp filed them as an owner of another company's stock.
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".
