Ziff Davis General Counsel Jeremy Rossen sold 4,347 shares (~$199,000) on May 28, 2026, representing 17.8% of his combined holdings. The sale capitalized on elevated share prices following the company's $1.2 billion connectivity division sale announcement. Rossen retained over 22,000 shares, suggesting confidence in the company.
