Context
This activity represents institutional fund-level selling by IFC/ALAC rather than trading by Lesaka management or directors. Such disposals by large investors or funds can reflect portfolio management or liquidity needs and do not, by themselves, signal management sentiment about the company. The footnotes state weighted average price ranges for each sale date and offer to provide a price-by-price breakdown to the SEC or other parties on request.
