Context The Trust Shares are a special instrument created under the historic DLC structure and represent a beneficial interest in Carnival plc’s special voting share; they are paired with Carnival Corporation common stock. The entry reflects a corporate reorganization (DLC Unification and Redomiciliation) rather than an insider selling stock on the open market, so it should not be interpreted as a typical insider sell signal.
