Context

• Because the sale was made under a prearranged Rule 10b5‑1 plan, it was scheduled in advance and does not necessarily reflect Yearout’s current views on the stock. Sales by executives can be routine (e.g., for diversification or liquidity) and are not as strong an indicator of confidence as purchases.
