Context

• This is a straightforward open-market purchase by a company director. Purchases by insiders are often watched by investors as a potential sign of confidence, but filings are factual and do not prove motive.
• A large portion of Mr. Ford’s stake is held through entities (Wooster Capital and several trusts); the filing disclaims beneficial ownership where applicable, which is common when holdings are held via managed entities.
