Context

• This was not an open-market sale — it was an in-kind distribution to limited partners as those partners withdrew from the fund. Such distributions often reflect partnership restructuring or withdrawals rather than a direct indicator of the insider’s view of the company.
• For retail investors: distributions and reallocations by funds or advisers can change reported ownership figures without representing a straightforward buy/sell decision by an individual insider.
