Context

• These were open-market sales under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan, which typically lets insiders sell automatically according to a preset schedule and is designed to avoid issues around insider trading windows. Sales are routine liquidity events and—unlike purchases—generally carry less informational weight about the insider’s view of the company.
