Datadog (NASDAQ:DDOG) Director Amit Agarwal executed a significant sale of company equity on June 12, 2026, offloading approximately $4.63 million in Class A common stock. According to a recent Securities and Exchange Commission filing, the transaction involved the disposal of 19,000 shares. The sales were not executed as a single block but rather through various transactions, with share prices ranging between $228.23 and $236.08 per share. These dispositions were facilitated under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan that Agarwal established on March 13, 2026.
The shares subject to this sale were held indirectly through the Agarwal 2018 Family Trust, with Mr. Agarwal's spouse serving as the Trustee. Alongside the equity sales, Mr. Agarwal reported additional corporate transactions on the same date. He converted a total of 30,000 shares of Class B common stock into Class A common stock. This conversion process was split between two family trusts: 10,000 Class B shares from the Agarwal 2019 Family Trust and 20,000 Class B shares from the Agarwal 2018 Family Trust were converted. Each Class B share carries the right to be converted at any time into one share of Class A common stock, with no expiration date attached to this conversion right.
Further equity movement was recorded as 10,000 Class A common shares held by the Agarwal 2019 Family Trust were disposed of as a gift to a donor-advised fund designated for charitable purposes. On June 15, 2026, Mr. Agarwal acquired 1,072 shares of Class A common stock directly. These newly acquired shares represent Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) granted under Datadog's non-employee director compensation policy. The vesting schedule for these RSUs is set to trigger on the earlier of the company's next annual meeting of stockholders or June 15, 2027, contingent upon Mr. Agarwal maintaining continuous service to the Issuer through the vesting date.
Following the completion of these transactions, Mr. Agarwal's direct holdings stand at 29,071 shares of Class A common stock. His indirect holdings include 6,541 Class A common shares held by the Agarwal 2019 Family Trust and 1,640 Class A common shares held by the Agarwal 2018 Family Trust. Additionally, his spouse indirectly holds 42,976 shares of Class B common stock.
