Context
A Rule 10b5-1 plan typically means the sale was pre-scheduled under a written trading plan adopted when the insider was not in possession of material non-public information; it is commonly used to avoid questions about timing. Sales are generally less informative than purchases about an insider’s view of the company, but they do disclose supply of shares to the market.
