Coca-Cola EVP Sold a Whopping $2M of KO Stock

Coca-Cola (KO) Executive Vice President Nancy Quan caught the interest of shareholders with a KO stock sale. The beverage company executive sold 28,543 shares at a weighted average price of $70.8117 per share on May 9. That netted her roughly $2,021,178 from the sale.

Quan’s share sale came followed her exercise of options for 28,543 shares of KO stock, which she acquired at $43.515 per share. This allowed her to sell the stock for a much higher amount than what she paid for them through the stock options. Investors will also note that her stock option exercise and share sale took place when Coca-Cola shares were coming off of a new 52-week high.

The Coca-Cola EVP continues to hold a significant amount of KO stock even after the sale. Her direct holdings total 223,330 shares and she still has other shares available indirectly through two 401(k) plans.
