Context

• These are sales (not purchases or option exercises). Sales executed under a pre‑arranged 10b5‑1 plan are often routine and intended to avoid trading on nonpublic information; they do not, by themselves, indicate management sentiment about the company’s outlook.
• Because Mr. Duca is a 10% owner and holds stock through entities and trusts, some holdings reported in the full filing may reflect managerial/control positions rather than direct personal economic exposure.
