Alphabet Inc. ($GOOGL) director Frances Arnold sold 112 shares on June 30, 2026, at $351.28 per share, generating proceeds of $39,343. The Form 4 was filed the same day as the trade.
That sale fell within a 14-day window of a separate $GOOGL disclosure by Rep. Matthew Robert Van Epps (R), a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Van Epps reported selling a position in Alphabet on June 16, 2026; his disclosure was filed one day later, on June 17. Congressional STOCK Act filings report dollar amounts in bracketed ranges, and his disclosed range places the trade's midpoint at approximately $1,001. Arnold's Form 4, by contrast, carries a precise dollar value as required under SEC reporting rules.
Arnold's June 30 sale is the most recent in a long series of open-market transactions in $GOOGL. Database records show she has executed sales on roughly a monthly cadence stretching back at least to May 2025. Across that stretch, she sold shares in 13 separate transactions at prices ranging from $172.41 per share in May 2025 to $371.00 per share in April 2026, before the June 30 transaction at $351.28. The regularity of those sales, spanning multiple quarters and a wide range of prices, is consistent with a pre-arranged trading plan, though the Form 4 filings do not specify whether a Rule 10b5-1 plan governs the activity.
Van Epps has logged 13 total trades across all tickers in his STOCK Act disclosure history, with a cumulative disclosed volume of approximately $27,013 at midpoint estimates. The $GOOGL sale on June 16 represents one of those disclosures. His one-day filing delay is well within the 45-day window Congress members are required to meet under the STOCK Act.
The overlap places two independent sellers on the same ticker within a two-week span, though the filings carry no stated connection and were submitted through distinct regulatory channels. Arnold holds a seat on Alphabet's board, giving her access to material non-public information subject to SEC blackout-period policies. Van Epps's trade is governed by the separate STOCK Act framework applicable to federal legislators. Arnold's sale was reported through the SEC's EDGAR system; Van Epps's disclosure was filed through the House disclosure portal.
