"% 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.

Oct 1, 20262 executives sold 5.5K shares ($536K) under a disclosed trading plan. That is between 0.9% and 1.4% of each person's total stake held that day.

Common questions

Is the GoDaddy CEO selling stock?

Yes. Amanpal Bhutani sold 76K shares ($7.2M, 19% of starting holdings) in the past 12 months, 29% of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are GoDaddy insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 25% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings, 66% were to cover taxes and 9% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any GoDaddy insiders buying?

No. Officers and directors reported no purchases in the past 12 months.

How much of their stake did GoDaddy insiders sell?

About 15% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. That covers the 12 months to Oct 8, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

13 of 13 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (11 exactly, 2 with a minor or footnoted difference). Percentages cover all 13 officers and directors. "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$13.5M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $13.5M across 142,278 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($10.1M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $1.2M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $634K of it is Phontip Palitwanon. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Jared Sine, Sep 1, 2026

Taxes

$10.3M of sales (76.2%) cite tax obligations in their footnotes, $1.4M of them also under a plan. Example: Jared Sine, Oct 2, 2026

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.

Mark McCaffrey: minor difference of 199 shares. Difference is stated in footnotes (unreported vesting, exempt acquisition or transfer).

Phontip Palitwanon: minor difference of 200 shares. Difference is stated in footnotes (unreported vesting, exempt acquisition or transfer).

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

Sources and methodology862 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 862 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for GoDaddy (SEC CIK 1609711) from Apr 1, 2015 to Oct 5, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages.

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".
