Ross Kade, chief information officer at Bandwidth Inc. (BAND), has been a consistent seller of company stock over the past six months, with Form 4 filings showing no open-market purchases during the period. Across 36 total transactions, Kade disposed of shares worth approximately $2.08 million, entirely through sales, while acquiring no shares through purchases or grants. The selling accelerated in late spring: on June 2, 2026, Kade executed five separate sales totaling roughly $277,562, following a May 29 cluster of three sales worth about $93,446. The largest single-day disposition came on May 11, when three sales combined for approximately $1.03 million, including a single transaction valued at $503,508.51.
The pattern is dominated by open-market sales (code S), which account for 15 of the most recent trades, with no corresponding buys. Several option exercises (code M) with zero dollar values preceded the sales, indicating Kade was converting vested options into shares and immediately liquidating them. Additionally, two tax-withholding events (code F) in February—valued at $53,615.52 and $23,993.58—reflect automatic share retentions to cover exercise costs, not discretionary trades. The absence of any purchase activity, combined with the steady cadence of sales from late April through early June, points to a consistent reduction in Kade’s direct equity stake in Bandwidth, though the filings do not indicate whether the proceeds are tied to tax obligations, diversification, or other personal financial planning.
