It’s a low amount though (2000*36=€72k). What is more concerning is his 50,610 shares that he sold in total in the past year, as now that is a fairly big amount if he planned this move many months ago.
To be fair, these guys are much more suspicious:
Chief among them being Tomer Bar-Zeev, Unity’s president of growth, who sold 37,500 shares on September 1 for roughly $1,406,250, and board director Shlomo Dovrat, who sold 68,454 shares on August 30 for around $2,576,608.
EDIT:
Yeah, nothing really unusual in Riccitiello’s trades. He may be an asshole but that’s no reason to immediately accuse him of insider trading for a lousy $77.15k worth of shares given that he already has a pattern of selling way bigger amounts:
Yeah, 2000 is nothing compared to the 50k shares he sold already. I think the bigger data point is probably how many shares does he own in total. It’s not uncommon to diversity and minimize some exposure to one company. Give stock is a major compensation structure for ceo’s, it makes sense they they liquidate it at periodically. I’m curious is September 1 is a vesting day or something for stock awards.

Here’s Riccitiello’s filing for that trade: https://www.secform4.com/filings/1810806/0001810806-23-000163.htm
Read in particular this part:
That’s not insider trading. That’s a pre-planned trade (see Investopedia’s entry about Rule 10b5-1) that would have been executed no matter what.
