What is SEC Form 144?
Form 144 is the notice a person files with the SEC when they plan to sell restricted or control shares under Rule 144 and the sale in any three months will be more than 5,000 shares or $50,000. The person is most often an officer, a director or a large holder of the company. It is filed at the same time the sell order goes to the broker, so it often appears before the sale shows up on a Form 4.

The whole dataset: Planned insider sales from Form 144 filings
What the notice holds
The form names the company, the person selling and their relationship to the company, and the broker handling the sale. It gives the number of shares to be sold, their value, the shares outstanding and the approximate date of the sale. It also lists how the seller got the shares, such as vested stock units or an option exercise, and any sales of the same stock in the past three months. A seller relying on a Rule 10b5-1 plan gives the date the plan was adopted.
Reading a Form 144 beside the Form 4
A Form 144 states what the seller intends, and the rule requires a genuine intention to sell within a reasonable time. The sale itself appears on the insider's Form 4, due two business days after the trade. Putting the two side by side shows whether the planned shares were sold in full, in part, or not at all.
Questions
Form 144: common questions
Does a Form 144 mean the shares were sold?
It is a notice of a planned sale. The sale itself shows up later on the insider's Form 4, and sometimes fewer shares are sold than the notice gave, or none.
Is there a time limit to sell after filing a Form 144?
Rule 144 says the seller must have a genuine intention to sell within a reasonable time after filing. The rule itself sets no fixed number of days.
When is a Form 144 not needed?
When the shares sold under Rule 144 in any three months come to 5,000 or fewer and $50,000 or less in total.
Is Form 144 filed electronically?
Yes. For companies that report to the SEC, the notice is filed electronically on EDGAR.
