• Total proceeds: about $21,645.

Context

• This was a direct sale of shares (code S) rather than an exercise, grant, or gift. Small-dollar sales like this (≈$21.6K) are frequently routine (e.g., diversification or liquidity needs) and do not, by themselves, indicate a change in company outlook.
• No 10b5-1 plan, option exercise, or tax-withholding conversion was indicated in the filing.
