"% 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.

Common questions

Is the Sezzle Inc. CEO selling stock?

Yes. Charles Youakim sold 7.2K shares ($513K) in the past 12 months, none of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are Sezzle Inc. insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 94% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings, 5% were to cover taxes and 0.5% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Sezzle Inc. insiders buying?

Yes. 3 officers or directors reported 3 purchases 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$26.8M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $26.8M across 202,299 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

Disclosed plan · $25.2M · 94%

6%

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($1.6M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $126K

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $126K of it is Kyle Brehm. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Kyle Brehm, Aug 27, 2026

Taxes

$1.5M of sales (5.4%) cite tax obligations in their footnotes. Separately, 78,567 shares ($6.2M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale. Example: Kerissa Hollis, Mar 3, 2026

Purchases · 3 buyers (3 trades)

3 officers and directors bought shares in this period, in 3 trades(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 are 8 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 uncertainty12 officers and directors not confirmed

Holdings and share of stake are being verified. Balances, unit counts and every share-of-stake figure for Sezzle 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 methodology384 filings on record, 61 filed in the 12-month period, and how we read them

All 384 Forms 3, 4 and 5 on record for Sezzle Inc. (SEC CIK 1662991), filed from Jun 11, 2021 to Sep 24, 2026; 61 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.

Probable 6-for-1 stock split on or before Mar 28, 2025 (split date stated in a footnote). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 14 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".
