Ex Aurora Cannabis (TSX: ACB) (NYSE: ACB) CEO and director Terry Booth has sold a portion of his position in the company he helped found and lead to a multi-billion dollar valuation. And evidently, investors have taken notice.
The filing was published late Friday evening, with Booth reporting the sale of 48,000 shares at a price of $21.28 a piece, which took place on May 27 as the company was experiencing a slight run up in its valuation.

The private co also currently owns 31,224 restricted stock units as well as 212,407 options and 1,756 warrants.
Outside of Lola Ventures, Booth still his a sizable position in the company he grew. Directly, he still owns 10,799 common shares, 604 deferred unit shares, as well as 10,000 shares indirectly and 13,333 warrants via Chinuke Investments.
