The first component of this activity involved the sale of 3,789 shares at a price of $9.13 per share. According to the reported details, this specific transaction was executed to satisfy tax obligations that arose from the vesting of restricted stock units held by Mr. D’Annunzio.
The second component consisted of the sale of 3,991 shares at a weighted-average price of $8.60 per share. This particular divestment was carried out through multiple transactions with prices ranging from $8.51 to $8.60, inclusive. Notably, this sale was conducted under the framework of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which Mr. D’Annunzio had previously adopted on September 10, 2025.
Following these recent movements, Mr. D’Annunzio maintains a direct holding of 110,059 shares of Class A Common Stock. This total equity position includes 14,861 shares of Class A Common Stock that are currently subject to performance stock units and restricted stock units awards which are still in the process of vesting.
These insider transactions occur amidst a period of significant corporate activity for Bakkt Holdings Inc. The company recently announced plans for a registered direct offering intended to raise gross proceeds of approximately $48.1 million. This offering involves the sale of Class A common stock along with pre-funded warrants to a single institutional investor, with an anticipated closing date around March 2, 2026, pending customary conditions.
