Purpose of Form 144

Form 144 is a mandatory SEC filing under Rule 144 that discloses proposed resales of restricted or control securities. This filing does not confirm that the shares have already been sold; it only alerts investors to the shareholder’s stated intent to sell the specified volume on the announced date. No actual trading has been recorded in connection with this notice as of the filing date.

Relevant Contextual Signals

This proposed sale aligns with several recent public signals for BBY: First, Schulze executed multiple gifted share transfers (totaling 23,166 shares) on 2026-04-16, marking this as his first disclosed formal sale plan for BBY shares in 2026. Second, Best Buy beat its first-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings estimates on 2026-05-28, with EPS of $1.28 versus consensus forecasts of $1.23 and revenue of $8.936 billion versus consensus $8.825 billion, driving a 4.29% daily price jump to $77.95.

In March 2026, three senior executives sold shares received via equity awards at an average price of $64.02, an 18% discount to the current $77.95 share price.

Critical Limitations

1. This filing only covers a proposed sale, not an executed transaction, so there is no guarantee the shares will be sold as planned;

2. The sale may reflect personal liquidity needs or portfolio diversification rather than a negative view of BBY’s long-term performance;

3. This document does not constitute an investment recommendation, price target, or trading advice, and all investors should conduct independent research before making trading decisions.
