When WLTH insiders can sell
WEALTHFRONT CORP · IPO prospectus filed 2025-12-12 · Earlier of two dates · 180-day lock-up
That is the calendar date the clause computes to, counted from the prospectus date. It is the only date computable without knowing a future earnings date, which is why everything that could pull it earlier is printed below it on this page rather than folded into it. This deal has 2 such triggers, so the first real release may be weeks sooner.
How much stock, against how much trades
"Absorb days" is the shares coming free divided by average daily volume: how many full sessions of WLTH's entire turnover the release amounts to. It is a ratio, not a forecast — it does not know who wants to sell, and a founder with no intention of selling counts the same as a fund that has been waiting six months.
Exactly 124,800,711 shares, against 2,307,900 shares a day averaged over 20 sessions. Volume source: yahoo-finance2 daily bars (symbol not in our price table), through 2026-11-06. Dollar volume $24.5M a day. Lightest third of the cohort.
Our call: Absorbed
WLTH sits in the lightest third of a cohort of 47 deals — lightest third at or below 54.1 sessions, heaviest at or above 109 sessions. The call is cohort-relative, not a fixed threshold, so the same absorb-day figure could read differently against a different month's IPOs. Expected excess return against SPY: non-negative.
The lock-up clause, in the issuer's words
Every other free lock-up calendar tells you 180 days and moves on. This is the actual sentence the date above was computed from, so that if the words do not support the number, the number is wrong and the filing is one click away.
Morgan Securities LLC, on behalf of the underwriters, during the period ending the earlier of (i) the opening of trading on the second trading day following the date of our release of earnings for the fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2026, or (ii) the date that is 180 days after the date of this prospectus (the "Lock-up Period"), subject to certain customary exceptions and certain provisions that provide for the release of certain shares of our common stock. When the Lock-up Period expires, we and our securityholders subject to a lock-up agreement or market stand-off agreement will be able to sell our shares in the public market. In addition, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC may, in their sole discretion, release all or some portion of the shares subject to lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period.
Where the share count comes from
124,800,711 shares — derived: shares outstanding after the offering, less the shares sold in it. A count the prospectus prints and a count derived from two of its other numbers are not the same quality of claim, so which one this is gets said rather than implied.
| Shares outstanding after the offering | 146,268,749 |
| Shares sold in the offering | 21,468,038 |

| Locked up, coming free at expiry | 124,800,711 |

What can pull the date earlier (2)
A lock-up that ends on "the earlier of" two events does not end on the date in the calendar. These are the clauses that can move it, each quoted from the filing.

Exceptions written into the lock-up (4)
Each of these is a route by which WLTH shares can move before 2026-06-10. The 10b5-1 carve-out is the one worth reading twice: it lets insiders put a selling plan in place during the lock-up, so the first sales can be automatic and immediate rather than discretionary and later.

How this reading of WLTH could be wrong
The lock-up period is restated 3 times in this prospectus. Issuers repeat the clause on the cover, in the summary, in the risk factors and in the underwriting section, and the wording is not always identical. The parser resolved them to one period; if a reader finds a restatement that disagrees, the quote above is the one it used.
The volume is a vendor's, not ours. WLTH is not in our own price table, so average daily volume comes from yahoo-finance2 daily bars (symbol not in our price table). Vendor bars for recently listed symbols are the ones most likely to be wrong.
Only 20 sessions of volume history. This is a recent IPO, and early volume is dominated by the offering itself. An average over 20 sessions of a stock that has barely traded is the weakest input on the page, and absorb days inherits every bit of that weakness.
The parser can misread a filing. That is why every number here is printed next to the words it came from. Earlier versions of this parser read the underwriters' 30-day over-allotment window as a 30-day lock-up on five deals, and double-counted one issuer's share total because the offering summary appears on both the cover and in the summary section.

Lock-ups cluster, because IPOs cluster: these priced in the same window as WLTH and come free in the same month. Several heavy releases landing together is a different situation from one.
