UBER President and COO Andrew MacDonald filed on 8 September, disclosing he bought 54,325 shares on 4 September at around $75.65 apiece. The open-market purchase was worth roughly $4.1 million. A second tranche of 15,675 shares, worth $1.2 million, was filed the same day, bringing his total outlay to over $5.3 million. Together the two trades lifted his holdings to 426,320 shares. Discretionary purchases of this size by a sitting COO carry real signal, as they come from personal capital rather than a compensation award.
