Summary

  • Aug. 14 SEC filings show Joseph D. O'Leary sold 2,597 Sprouts Farmers Market shares in an open-market transaction at a weighted average price of $82.57.
  • The sale was a partial reduction rather than a full exit, leaving O'Leary with 14,710 directly held shares valued at about $1.2 million based on the same day's $82.50 close.
  • That remaining stake includes 2,313 restricted stock units scheduled to vest in March 2027 if he continues service through that date.
