Eight Wang executives sold $2.8 million in stock.

The computer maker confirmed reports that the executives, including the vice chairman, sold 111,965 shares of Wang Laboratories’ class B stock in January and February, when the stock’s price on the American Stock Exchange hovered around $25 a share. On March 12, Wang said it expected earnings for its fiscal third quarter ended March 31 to fall 30% to 40% from a year earlier. That triggered a sharp slide in the stock price. As required, Wang notified the Securities and Exchange Commission when the executives sold their stock. The SEC said it could not comment on whether it is investigating the possibility of insider trading.
