Christopher C. Swenson, who serves as Chief Legal Officer at Nerdy Inc. (NYSE: NRDY), executed a sale of 18,366 shares of the company’s Class A Common Stock on March 16, 2026, according to a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The shares were sold at $0.90 apiece, generating total proceeds of $16,529. The filing’s footnotes indicate the disposition was carried out to satisfy tax obligations that arose when 40,584 restricted stock units vested. Those vested shares were automatically sold through Nerdy’s sell-to-cover program to meet required federal and state tax withholdings.
Following the transaction, Swenson’s direct holdings in Nerdy total 2,004,376 shares. That aggregate ownership is comprised of 1,113,791 shares of Class A Common Stock and 890,585 restricted stock units, per the filing.
Market context for the move: Nerdy stock is trading at $0.82, close to its 52-week low of $0.77, and the share price has fallen 36% over the past six months. An InvestingPro analysis noted in the regulatory filing material suggests the stock appears undervalued at current levels.
The insider sale and the company’s share-price trajectory coincide with Nerdy’s fourth-quarter 2025 results, which showed a revenue beat. Nerdy reported $49.1 million in revenue for the quarter, outstripping analyst expectations of $45.83 million. That result represented a 7.14% revenue surprise and a 2% increase versus the same period in the prior year.
Despite the quarterly outperformance on the top line, Nerdy has been notified by the New York Stock Exchange that its Class A Common Stock traded below $1.00 for a consecutive 30 trading-day span, triggering a non-compliance notice. The company has indicated an intention to address the deficiency and has a six-month window to return to compliance by meeting the applicable share-price requirement.
The Form 4 filing, and related footnotes, make clear the sale was a tax-driven, automated action under the sell-to-cover program rather than a discretionary open-market sale. Swenson’s remaining direct ownership and the details of the transaction are publicly disclosed through the SEC filing.
