- 2025-09-12: 12.618 sh @ $143.00 — $1,804 (F4)
- Shares beneficially owned after the reported transactions (per Mr. L'Quentus's most recent Form 4 filed Sept 25, 2025): 2,534 common shares.
- Footnotes: Several purchases were “inadvertent” DRIP reinvestment buys. Some matched prior sales under Section 16(b) and produced short‑swing profits that were disgorged ($82.12 and $128.59 where applicable); other matches yielded no profit.
- Timeliness: The Form 4 was filed late (delinquent reporting). The issuer notes the reported transactions were reported after the fact and adjusts ownership based on the last timely filed Form 4.
Context
- These are small, routine purchase transactions (many via automatic DRIP reinvestments) rather than large, deliberate block buys. The inadvertent DRIP purchases and subsequent Section 16(b) matches were resolved by disgorgement where required; such technical matches do not necessarily indicate trading intent.
