On September 14, Kanzhun Limited fell 5.54% in regular trading, trading at $15.59/share, with turnover of $363 million. The decline was driven by a wave of concentrated insider selling and share dilution that intensified downward pressure on the stock.
On the news front, Executive Director and Chief Marketing Officer Chen Xu executed multiple rounds of option exercises and share disposals in rapid succession. On September 4, Chen exercised 400,000 stock options at $0.50 per share and sold all shares at a weighted average price of approximately $8.50, netting around $3.40 million. On September 10, Chen exercised another 200,000 options and sold the equivalent shares at $8.15 each, generating approximately $1.63 million. Separately, shareholder Techwolf Limited filed a Form 144 restricted stock sale notice to sell 192,000 ADSs valued at approximately $3.09 million. Additionally, the company issued 3.6417 million new shares upon the exercise of stock options, contributing to short-term share dilution. The combination of executive selling and increased share supply created dual selling pressure.
Notably, Chen Xu was recently rotated out of the president role on September 1, with CTO Tao Zhang appointed as rotating president, while Chen resumed the position of Chief Marketing Officer.
