Context
- These filings show an option exercise (derivative conversion) plus sales. Because many sales were done under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan, they are likely routine, pre-planned dispositions rather than ad-hoc trades. The file shows both the exercise (code M) and multiple code S sales; the derivative entry for 40,948 shares reflects the conversion/settlement of the option.
- Purchases (exercises) can increase an insider’s stake; sales reduce it. Here, after these transactions, Wilson-Thompson’s reported holdings increased by the net amount shown above (unless other holdings or prior transactions not in this report change that number).
