Context

• This was a routine ESPP purchase (P = Purchase), a common payroll/plan-based buy rather than a market-timed large insider acquisition. The small dollar amount ($1.6K) and ESPP mechanism suggest routine participation in the company plan rather than a signal of material insider conviction.
