According to the information disclosed, the sale of stock was carried out pursuant to a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan. The shares obtained through the option exercises originated from several option grants. One material grant involved 177,138 shares that vest in 48 substantially equal monthly installments; the first such installment vested on December 4, 2022. The remaining options included in the exercise were already fully vested at the time of the transactions.

The timing of the transactions coincides with a strong run-up in Roku’s share price over the past year. InvestingPro data cited with the disclosure indicates Roku shares have climbed 93% year-over-year. InvestingPro analysis included in the record suggests the stock remains undervalued at current levels. The company is also approaching its next earnings release, scheduled to occur in nine days from the disclosed date.
In related corporate developments, Roku announced it has surpassed 100 million streaming households globally. The company defines that milestone as the number of distinct user accounts that stream on the Roku platform within a 30-day period.

The existing Platform segment will be split into two separate reporting segments labeled "Advertising" and "Subscriptions." The company plans to reflect this change in its financial results to be reported on April 30, 2026.
