Amphenol CEO Richard Norwitt Sells $65.9 Million of Stock After Exercising Options
Amphenol President and CEO Richard Norwitt sold 799,576 Amphenol shares for $65.95 million after exercising stock options, according to a Form 4 filing Tuesday.
On Nov. 2, 2026, Norwitt exercised options to buy 799,576 Amphenol Class A shares at $11.1863 each, then sold the same number of shares at a weighted average price of $82.4762, the filing shows. The options were set to expire on May 23, 2029.
The filing's Rule 10b5-1 box was not checked, so it does not indicate the sale was made under a prearranged trading plan.
A gift on the same day
Norwitt also gave away 200,000 Amphenol shares on Nov. 2, according to the filing. The shares were valued at a closing price of $79.84 on the gift date, which puts the gift at $15.97 million.
All share counts and prices in the filing reflect Amphenol's 2-for-1 stock split, which took effect on Sept. 2, 2026.
What he still holds
After the transactions, Norwitt directly owns 3,655,014 Amphenol shares, according to the filing. He also reports 1,728,354 shares held by the Norwitt Family Trust and 7,936 shares in his IRA.
No options from that May 2029 grant remain after the exercise, the filing shows.
