"% 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.

Is this normal? In line with the past 5 years. 12 insiders sold; the average is 12 a year. Year by year

What stands out

Six insiders sold more than 25% of vested holdings: Mayur Kapani (45% of holdings, $4.5M, all under a disclosed plan), Lynn Martin (49% of holdings, $4.3M, all under a disclosed plan) and Andrew Surdykowski (38% of holdings, $2.8M, all under a disclosed plan), plus 3 more.Mayur Kapani: largest sale, Feb 18, 2026 · Lynn Martin: largest sale, Jul 16, 2026 · Andrew Surdykowski: largest sale, Aug 26, 2026
Four insiders sold shares but ended with larger stakes, because more shares came in than were sold: Benjamin Jackson (sold 33K, 22% of starting holdings; 68K added), Martha Tirinnanzi (sold 1.5K, 42% of starting holdings; 1.7K added) and William Hague (sold 1.4K, 7.1% of starting holdings; 1.5K added), plus 1 more.Benjamin Jackson: largest sale, Feb 10, 2026 · Martha Tirinnanzi: largest sale, Aug 26, 2026 · William Hague: largest sale, Jun 12, 2026

Percentages cover 20 of 22 officers and directors. Left out: Christopher Edmonds (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Daniel Pinto (held no vested shares at the start). Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

Who sold, and how much of their stake

Officers and directors, past 12 months. Each bar is the insider's vested stake at the start of the period (Oct 8, 2025). The gold part is what they sold.

Common questions

Is the Intercontinental Exchange CEO selling stock?

Yes. Jeffrey Sprecher sold 430K shares ($66.4M, 13% of starting holdings) in the past 12 months, all of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are Intercontinental Exchange insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 99% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 1% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Intercontinental Exchange insiders buying?

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

How much of their stake did Intercontinental Exchange insiders sell?

About 15% overall. As a group they still hold 91% of their starting shares. 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.

22 of 22 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (10 exactly, 12 with a minor or footnoted difference). Percentages cover 20 of 22 officers and directors. Left out: Christopher Edmonds (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Daniel Pinto (held no vested shares at the start). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$91.3M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $91.3M across 590,437 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 ($1.1M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $1.1M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $1.1M of it is Douglas Foley. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Douglas Foley, Aug 5, 2026

Taxes

151,490 shares ($25.2M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

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.

Sources and methodology1,205 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 1,205 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Intercontinental Exchange (SEC CIK 1571949) from Nov 13, 2013 to Sep 16, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 6 filings were left out because Intercontinental Exchange filed them as an owner of another company's stock.

Probable 5-for-1 stock split on or before Nov 3, 2016 (split date stated in a footnote). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 15 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".
