Buy Plan / Sale Plan: These are also open market purchases/sales of shares, but in this case the transaction is part of a trading plan. Rule 10b5-1 allows insiders to setup a trading plan to buy/sell stocks over a certain period of time. Since the purchases/sales are predetermined, this protects the insiders from violating insider trading law.

Transaction was made pursuant to a contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of equity securities of the issuer that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c).

Explanation of Responses:

Id Content
F1 The exercise reported was effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by Mr. Anderson on May 9, 2024. No sale of the resulting shares is contemplated by the trading plan.
F2 Represents the balance of shares of Belden Inc. common stock held in the Belden Retirement Savings Plan as of the date of this filing.
F3 This represents the difference between the number of SARs exercised (10,448) and the number of shares issued as a result of the exercise (2,623). The number of shares to be issued under a SAR exercise is determined by multiplying the number of SARs being exercised by the difference between the FMV on the date of exercise ($113.465) and the exercise price ($61.79). Additional shares were then withheld to satisfy the Company's tax withholding obligations.
