Context
These filings include both awards/grants (A) and option/derivative exercises (M). Awards and RSUs are acquisitions (a bullish signal in that the insider received shares), while exercises are conversions of existing derivative instruments into common stock; several exercises show immediate dispositions to the issuer which commonly reflect tax withholding or cashless exercise mechanics rather than open‑market sales. As a 10% owner, Aggarwal's transactions are material by regulation but do not by themselves indicate the insider's view of the company — they document compensation/vesting and option activity. The consolidated/late nature of the filing (filed 2026-05-08 covering earlier years) is relevant for timing and investor interpretation.
