The specific details of the transaction were disclosed in a Form 4 filing submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The filing revealed that Keeley Teton Advisors sold 6,496 Wintrust Financial common stock (WTFC). This divestiture represents approximately 0.02% of the company’s outstanding shares. The sale price per share was not explicitly disclosed in the SEC filing.

While the specific impact of this particular divestiture on Wintrust Financial’s stock price is difficult to predict, it underscores the importance of monitoring SEC filings and understanding the investment activities of major stakeholders. Such insights can provide valuable context for interpreting market movements and making informed investment decisions.
