Context

  • The May 20 activity shows both exercises/RSU settlements and same-day open-market sales of shares — the filing records acquisitions (via exercise/settlement) and disposals on the same date. For retail investors: purchases/exercises show the CEO received shares at lower exercise prices, while the open-market sales generated the reported cash proceeds. Do not infer motive from the trades; this report is a factual record of insider activity.
