AeroVironment Inc. reported an insider ownership change involving Brian Charles Shackley in the company’s common stock on July 15, 2026. The Form 4 was signed on July 16, 2026, by Colby Petersen as attorney-in-fact for Shackley. The filing states that the reported transactions were executed under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by Shackley on September 30, 2025. Such plans allow corporate insiders to arrange future trades according to predetermined instructions, potentially providing an affirmative defense against claims that trades were made on the basis of material nonpublic information. The document text provided does not include the transaction table that normally specifies the transaction code, number of shares acquired or disposed of, price, ownership form, or shares beneficially owned after the transaction. As a result, the filing confirms that an ownership change occurred in AeroVironment common stock on July 15, 2026, but the excerpt does not reveal whether the action was a sale, purchase, option exercise, grant, or other reportable transaction, nor does it provide the resulting post-transaction holdings. The key disclosed detail is that Shackley’s transaction activity was pre-planned under the September 2025 10b5-1 arrangement, indicating the trades were not presented as discretionary open-market decisions made at the time of execution.
