Lululemon Chairman Sold $50 Million In Stock Right Before The CEO’s Surprise Departure

He sold 607,545 shares at $81.50 on Friday (the day the board learned of Day’s departure), cashing in $49.5 million.

Stunner: Lululemon CEO Christine Day leaving
Day came to Lululemon in 2008 and became CEO that year. She had been an executive for 20 years with Starbucks before joining the apparel retailer.
Investors appeared to disagree that the timing was right, with shares diving more than 12% by early evening — down $10.37 from Monday’s close — in after-hours trading on the news that came after markets closed.

Timing of Stock Sales Favors Lululemon Insider
After the market closed Jan. 14, Lululemon updated its outlook for the holiday quarter. Its revenue and earnings-per-share forecasts were higher than the company’s previous estimates, but Wall Street had been expecting even higher sales.
The company’s stock fell 3.9% the following day to $69.47. Mr. Wilson had sold his shares at an average price of $70.92.
