A Form 4 is filed within two business days of a company insider — an officer, a director, or a holder of more than ten percent of the stock — changing their position in the shares. All 12 filings in this group are Form 4s for Douglas Emmett, Inc.
The difficulty with reading these filings as a group is that a single form type covers transactions that mean entirely different things. An executive spending their own money to buy stock and an executive having shares withheld to pay tax on a vesting grant both appear as a Form 4. Every filing below is therefore tagged with the nature of the underlying transaction, taken from the transaction code reported on the form itself.
Across the 12 insider filings shown, the breakdown is 11 compensation award and 1 open-market purchase. 1 of them involved a discretionary open-market trade; the rest are compensation and administrative mechanics.

Insider Buying
2026-02-18
DEI insider Kaplan Jordan L (Director, Chairman and CEO) bought 98,000 shares (~$997.6K)
Kaplan Jordan L, listed as Director, Chairman and CEO at Douglas Emmett Inc, reported an open-market purchase of 98,000 DEI shares in a Form 4 filing. Insider buying is often treated as a bullish signal because company insiders are committing their own capital.
The insider bought shares on the open market with their own money. This is the only Form 4 category that requires a discretionary cash outlay at the prevailing price.
