The total value of shares sold in this transaction was reported at $72,508.
Transaction Mechanics and Financial Structure
The core of the transaction involved the acquisition of 50,000 shares of TFS Financial common stock. These shares were obtained through the exercise and settlement of specific employee stock options. The exercise price for these shares was established at $14.74 per share, resulting in a total transaction value of $737,000.

The total gross proceeds from this disposition amounted to $767,491. The primary purpose of this partial sale was to deliver shares back to the issuer.
