Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 5, 2018, Richard J. Freeland, President and Chief Operating Officer of Cummins Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a pre-arranged stock trading plan (the “Plan”) to sell a limited number of his shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $2.50 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Plan allows for the sale of a maximum of 4,500 shares of Common Stock at a limit price of $150 commencing sixty days after adoption of the Plan and continuing until all 4,500 shares are sold or September 1, 2019, whichever occurs first. Based on his current ownership of Common Stock, if all of the 4,500 shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan were sold, Mr. Freeland would beneficially own approximately 95,689 shares of Common Stock.
The Plan was designed to comply with the Company’s insider trading policies and the guidelines specified in Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which permit an officer or director to enter into a pre-arranged plan for buying or selling Company stock at a time when the officer or director is not in possession of material, nonpublic information about the Company. Mr. Freeland will continue to be subject to the Company’s stock ownership guidelines, and the sale contemplated by the Plan will not reduce his respective ownership of Common Stock below the levels required by the guidelines.
All sales of Common Stock under the Plan will be disclosed publicly in accordance with applicable securities laws, rules and regulations through appropriate filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
