Item 8.01. Other Events.
Dean Hatton, a director of Higher One Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), terminated his 10b5-1 stock trading plan entered into on February 8, 2012 and adopted a new 10b5-1 stock trading plan effective September 10, 2012. Mr. Hatton’s new plan provides for the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock (i) already owned by Mr. Hatton and (ii) issuable upon exercise of options granted on December 7, 2007, January 23, 2007, January 17, 2006 and March 3, 2004, which options will expire on September 29, 2012. Under the plan, beginning on September 10, 2012, a brokerage firm may periodically exercise Mr. Hatton’s stock options and sell the issued shares
prior to the expiration of the plan on August 31, 2013. The maximum number of options that can be exercised and sold over the duration of the plan is 865,790.
Mr. Hatton’s trading plan is intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company’s insider trading policy. Rule 10b5-1 allows individuals who are not in possession of material, non-public information at the time the stock trading plan is adopted to establish prearranged written plans to buy or sell a specified number of shares of a company stock. Trading under Mr. Hatton’s plan is generally based on reaching certain pre-determined minimum price conditions. Transactions under Mr. Hatton’s trading plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, to the extent
required by law.
