Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-20; Filed with SEC: 2026-04-21 (appears timely).
• Transaction: Sale of 2,500 shares at $8.00 per share — total value $20,000.
• Form wording: "Open market or private sale" (filing indicates open-market sale).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnote: Sale was made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person on January 5, 2026.

Context A 10b5-1 plan lets insiders pre-schedule trades and can indicate the sale was executed under pre-set instructions rather than as a discretionary trade based on current company knowledge. For retail investors, purchases generally carry more informational weight than routine sales; this single small sale ($20k) should be viewed in that context.
