"% 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.

Common questions

Is the NXP Semiconductors CEO selling stock?

No. Rafael Sotomayor reported no open-market sales in the past 12 months.

Why are NXP Semiconductors insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 82% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 18% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any NXP Semiconductors insiders buying?

Yes. 1 officer or director reported 1 purchase in the past 12 months (Form 4 code P, which includes private purchases).

How much of their stake did NXP Semiconductors insiders sell?

About 27% overall. As a group they still hold 96% of their starting shares. The biggest individual seller, Jennifer Wuamett, gave up 78% of starting holdings. 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.

15 of 16 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (15 exactly, 0 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 1 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on that row explains why. Percentages cover 12 of 16 officers and directors. Left out: Andrew Hardy (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Andrew Micallef, Christopher Jensen and William Betz (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$11.1M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $11.1M across 49,362 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 ($2.0M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $2.0M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $1.5M of it is William Betz. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: William Betz, Nov 13, 2025

Taxes

30,112 shares ($6.8M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

Purchases · 1 buyer (1 trade)

1 officer or director bought shares in this period, in 1 trade(Form 4 code P). Across all their filings on record there are 7 purchase trades.

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 uncertainty1 insider whose holdings couldn't be fully reconciled

Andrew Hardy: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of -1,643 shares). Balance changed with no matching transaction and no footnote: -4,786 shares on Nov 1, 2025 (Direct). Filing, Nov 1, 2025

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

Sources and methodology379 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 379 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for NXP Semiconductors (SEC CIK 1413447) from Aug 1, 2019 to Oct 5, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 3 filings were left out because NXP Semiconductors 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".
