Context

• A Rule 10b5‑1 plan lets insiders sell shares according to a preset schedule and is commonly used to avoid questions about trading on inside information; the filing confirms these sales were made under such a plan.
• Chesky is both an executive (CEO) and a 10% owner; sales by large owners can reflect planned liquidity or diversification rather than a vote of no confidence—this filing contains no statement of motive.
