Context

• This was not a straight purchase of stock (which can be viewed as a stronger bullish signal). Instead, Ofer exercised options at a low strike and sold the resulting shares the same day via a prearranged 10b5‑1 plan — a common way for insiders to monetize option gains while avoiding questions about trading on nonpublic information.
• The presence of many unvested RSUs in the reported beneficial ownership means a substantial portion of reported holdings are not immediately liquid. As always, insider sales do not, by themselves, indicate company fundamentals; they may reflect personal liquidity or preplanned trading.
