Context

• The only cash transaction here is a modest open‑market sale (~$162K). Sales by insiders can be routine (liquidity, portfolio rebalancing) and do not, by themselves, signal company outlook.
• The much larger $0 transfers reflect fund/partner distributions and institutional bookkeeping, not a typical executive sale or purchase; these are often administrative and may not reflect Santo Politi’s personal trading intent.
