What this transaction means for investors
The June 16 sale of Opendoor stock by Director David Benson isn’t a cause for investor concern, given it was performed to fulfill tax withholding obligations incurred in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units.
The disposition came at an interesting time for Opendoor shares. The company was selected for inclusion in the Russell 3000 Index towards the end of May, and the stock remains well above its 52-week low of $0.51 per share reached last June.
