Context
Sales by executives can reflect many routine reasons (diversification, liquidity, tax planning) and do not by themselves indicate company performance. Purchases are generally more indicative of insider confidence; this filing documents sales only. For the authoritative record and any additional disclosures (post-transaction holdings, footnotes), consult the SEC Form 4 filing (Accession: 0000043920-26-000088).
