If you're wondering why theres a 5% share price drop today, it may be related to the fact that one of the co-founders sold $2m worth of their holdings. The announcement was put out at 6:30pm on Friday evening.

Personally I feel like this is a massive over-reaction from the market, I have no inside information so just going on experience. I can't imagine too many long term holders being spooked by Shaun's trimming, perhaps a good buying opportunity for anyone who's been looking to increase their weighting, I'm overweight myself so will just watch it fluctuate. Founder (no longer an exec) has sold about 4% of his massive holding, I wouldn't begrudge him this given his holding has grown to about A$60m (must be nice!) so selling down $2m doesn't feel like he's looking for an exit. I think I recall Shaun and fellow founder Igor V. selling down a few years ago and the business has only gone from strength to strength since.

I agree.

From memory, so can be corrected, but I think Shaun's is on a salary of about 100,00 per year, which i think is salary scarified as shares. I dont think has has a day job, and a dividend is unlikely in the next couple of years.

I think that the last sale was just before some positive announcements. I think the next announcement will be entry into ASX300, followed by a FY results. I I don't have any inside knowledge either but given they have pretty much hit the top end of guidance for several years, I'm expecting something similar or better for this FY results.
