Key questions
- How does this transaction compare to Foshee's previous sell activity?
Over the last two years, this is Foshee's largest single sale, with the prior sell event (Dec. 4, 2024) involving 15,175 shares. The current transaction is nearly three times larger, reflecting a step up in realized liquidity as holdings have declined. - What proportion of Foshee's Interface, Inc. position was impacted?
The 44,393 shares sold represented 20.23% of direct holdings at the time of the transaction, leaving 175,014 shares directly held, which equates to an estimated 0.30% ownership of the company as of May 18, 2026. - Were any options, restricted stock units, or indirect entities involved in the transaction?
No options, restricted stock units, or indirect entities were involved; the entire sale consisted of directly-held common shares and no derivative or trust activity was reported in this filing. - Does the sale indicate a change in disposition cadence or capacity?
While this transaction increased in size relative to prior sales, the change aligns with reduced available share capacity following a multi-year pattern of annual dispositions, and is consistent with ongoing portfolio management rather than signaling a change in long-term strategy.

What this transaction means for investors
The May 18 sale of Interface shares by General Counsel and Secretary David Foshee came after the stock had pulled back from its 52-week high of $35.11 reached on Feb. 9. Even so, shares were still well above the low of $20.02 reached last June when Foshee sold.
He’s not the only one in the company to dump shares with the rise in stock price. Several insiders have sold this year, including CFO Bruce Hausmann on May 27.
Still, Foshee retained over 175,000 shares after his disposition, and a significant portion included unvested performance shares and restricted stock units. These provide a financial incentive and limit future sales until they vest.
Interface is doing well. It reported revenue of $331 million, representing an 11% year-over-year increase, for its fiscal first quarter ended April 5. It also raised full-year sales guidance to around $1.5 billion from $1.4 billion. These factors contributed to the jump up in the company’s stock price.
