The transaction occurred at a blended average price of $117.31, near the current price of $115.38, and is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-12-16—meaning the sales are scheduled, not discretionary.

Patterson Mark, EVP and CFO of Cisco, executed 4 separate sales totaling 5,512 shares for $646,484.58 on 2026-05-15, reducing holdings from 196,824 to 191,312 shares (-2.8%). The sales occurred under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-12-19, meaning the transactions were scheduled and not discretionary. The blended average sale price of $117.29 sits near the current price of $115.38, with the stock having risen 33.8% over the past 30 days and 47.6% over 90 days. His prior sales at Cisco (two on 2025-11-18) showed modest post-sale returns of approximately -0.3% and -0.9% at the 30-day horizon, indicating these were not notably ill-timed in isolation. Because this sale is part of an automated plan rather than a discretionary choice, it carries no signal about executive conviction or market outlook; the transaction is a routine execution of a pre-committed schedule.

The scheduled nature of this sale limits directional inference from timing or sizing.
