Bear Stearns Companies Inc. (NYSE: BSC) has an SEC filing out showing that Chairman James "Jimmy" Cayne sold shares the day after JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) sweetened its bid offering to $10.00.
On March 25, Cayne sold 5,612,922 shares at $10.84 and this says that his direct beneficial ownership of Bear Stearns stock is now ZERO. His wife also sold 45,669 shares at $10.84.
Shares of Bear Stearns closed up 0.18% at $11.23 in normal trading, but shares are down some 4.6% at $10.71 in after-hours.
Maybe some are still hoping for an even higher-yet buyout price, but itdoesn’t look like Cayne does. Either that or he needed more cash toplay card games.
