Share-class conversions: 2 conversions, 164,999 shares Class B → Class A. A conversion is not a sale; the combined stake does not change.

"% 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.

Outside holders, reported separately

SC US (TTGP), LTD. sold $9.4M and GV 2019 GP, L.L.C. sold $50.2M 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.

Common questions

Is the Ethos Technologies Inc. CEO selling stock?

Yes. Peter Colis sold 244K shares ($7.8M) in the past 12 months, 70% of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are Ethos Technologies Inc. insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 56% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings, 22% were to cover taxes and 22% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Ethos Technologies Inc. insiders buying?

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).

What explains the selling$30.9M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $30.9M across 1,128,943 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 ($13.6M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $6.7M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $3.6M of it is Vipul Sharma. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Vipul Sharma, Jan 30, 2026

Taxes

$7.1M of sales (23.1%) cite tax obligations in their footnotes, $192K of them also under a plan. Separately, 1,303,875 shares ($0) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale. Example: Brandt Kucharski, Aug 17, 2026

Purchases · 1 buyer (1 trade)

1 officer or director bought shares in this period, in 1 trade(Form 4 code P, leaving out rows the filings describe as reinvested dividends, plan purchases, private deals or moves into the person's own trust). Across all their filings on record there is 1 purchase trade.

Known gaps and uncertainty13 officers and directors not confirmed

Holdings and share of stake are being verified. Balances, unit counts and every share-of-stake figure for Ethos Technologies Inc. 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.

Sources and methodology69 filings on record, 69 filed in the 12-month period, and how we read them

All 69 Forms 3, 4 and 5 on record for Ethos Technologies Inc. (SEC CIK 1788451), filed from Jan 28, 2026 to Sep 18, 2026; 69 of them were filed in the 12 months this page covers, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 16, 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".
