• Transaction type/code: Purchase (P) — open market or private purchase.

Context
Because the reporting person is a 10% owner and party to a family agreement that governs collective voting and convertibility of certain shares, this is institutional/family ownership activity rather than a typical executive trade. The footnote clarifies multiple executions at slightly different prices; no options, gifts, or tax-withholding transactions are involved.
