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. Gross proceeds from the transaction is estimated to be approximately $1.02 million, a fraction of what the shares would have fetched just one year ago on a pre-consolidation basis.

The private co also currently owns 31,224 restricted stock units as well as 212,407 options and 1,756 warrants.
