• The dollar amount involved (~$4.9k) is small, so while insider purchases can be meaningful, the size here is modest and should be weighed accordingly.
• If you need the exact number of shares bought at each price within the $1.02–$1.09 range, the filer has committed (per F1) to provide that breakdown on request to the company, shareholders, or the SEC staff.
