• Footnotes: several weighted‑average price notes (F1–F9) indicate sales executed at narrow price ranges per lot; F2 = holdings through an LLC; F10 = some shares held through trusts where the reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership (spouse is trustee, immediate family beneficiaries).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided excerpt of this filing.

Context

• Sales (S) are disposals and do not, by themselves, indicate the director’s view on the company’s prospects; purchases are generally more informative about insider sentiment.
• For retail investors: track multiple Form 4s for the same insider (this was the second filing) and check future filings for changes in holdings. If you need precise per‑price breakdowns, the filing notes the reporting person will provide full details to the SEC or issuer upon request.
