Item 8.01. Other Events.
Aaron Jagdfeld, President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, and Dawn Tabat, Chief Operating Officer, each recently adopted a prearranged stock trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Generac’s policies regarding stock transactions.
The plans were adopted as a part of each executive’s individual long-term asset diversification, tax and financial planning strategy. The plans provide for the sale of shares to be acquired through the exercise of stock options or for the sale of existing shares, to be sold on the open market at prevailing market prices subject to a specified minimum price threshold.
Each executive holds stock or stock equivalents exceeding Generac’s applicable stock ownership guidelines and will continue to exceed those guidelines after the completion of the sales contemplated by the stock trading plans.
Transactions under these plans will be reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with applicable securities laws. Generac does not undertake to report 10b5-1 plans that may be adopted by any officers or directors in the future, or to report any modifications or terminations of any publicly announced trading plan, except to the extent required by law.
