Shareholders of Technology One Limited (ASX:TNE) might be interested to learn about recent transactions involving company insider, John MacTaggart. He recently offloaded shares worth around AU$63 million, at an average price of AU$20.98, reducing his stake in the company by 12%. While such transactions can be concerning, they are not unprecedented.

Notably, the sale occurred at a price slightly below the current trading price of AU$28.49, prompting discussions around insider confidence.
