Context
Caroline Cochran is a reported 10% owner — a large shareholder rather than a routine executive purchase signal. The sales were conducted under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan, which generally indicates pre-planned disposition and reduces the inference that the timing reflects non-public company information. This is a straightforward disposition (sale) for liquidity or portfolio-management reasons; it should not be taken alone as a signal about company fundamentals.
