Insiders at ADAMS DIVERSIFIED EQUITY FUND, INC.

Shares is what each person last reported holding here.

Everyone below has filed at least one insider report against this company.

Value is that share count priced at the same closing price used everywhere else on this site. A row priced from only some of a person’s securities says so — we do not quietly present a partial sum as a complete one.

Rows are grouped by the role each person reports.

The role comes from the relationship boxes a person ticks on their own insider filings — officer, director, ten per cent owner — not from anything we infer. Somebody who is both an officer and a director appears once, in the combined group, so the row count still matches the figure at the top of this page. Where no filing states a role we say so instead of guessing one.

Recent insider transactions

Of the 26 rows we hold, 4 are open-market purchases (P) and 3 open-market sales (S) — the only codes we count as buying or selling.

The rest — awards, shares withheld to pay tax, option exercises, gifts and so on — follow from an employment contract or a transfer arranged off-market, not from a decision to buy or sell, so counting them would turn this into a pay table.

A price of 0.00 is a real reported figure on gifts (G) and share awards (A) — not a gap in our data.
