Stebbins sells WFS shares


World Fuel Services CEO sells company shares as part of pre-arranged stock trading plan.



World Fuel Services Corporation (WFS) has revealed that its chairman and chief executive officer, Paul H. Stebbins [pictured], sold 100 company shares last week.

Stebbins sold 100 shares at a weighted average sale price of $39.90 on October 21st. He previously sold 50,000 company shares on October 14th at an average price of $38.54 a share.

Following the sale, the World Fuel Services CEO now has 448,719 shares remaining, plus an additional 279,384 common stock shares.

Stebbins entered into a pre-arranged, non-discretionary stock trading plan earlier this month. Under the newly adopted plan, beginning on October 14th 2011 and ending on October 14th 2012, Stebbins may sell a maximum of 150,000 shares, which represents approximately 20 percent of his holdings.

The company said the sales were being made for diversification and tax planning purposes and will be publicly disclosed through Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The plan was adopted in accordance with guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and World Fuel Services' policies regarding stock transactions.

Rule 10b5-1 permits individuals who are not in possession of material, non-public information at the time the plan is adopted to establish pre-arranged plans to buy or sell company stock. These plans allow individuals to achieve prudent and gradual asset diversification over time.

Stebbins, who is due to step down as CEO in January 2012 and continue as executive chairman, also entered into a stock trading plan in 2009. He sold 50,000 company shares in August 2009 after selling a similar amount of shares towards the end of July 2009.

Last year Stebbins entered into a stock trading plan for the sale of a maximum of 256,000 shares between January 15th 2010 and December 31st 2010.
