Context

• 10b5-1 plan trades are prearranged and common for insiders managing planned disposals; such sales are often routine and do not by themselves indicate negative sentiment about the company.
• For retail investors, purchases by insiders are generally considered more informative about confidence in the company than planned sales. This filing documents a routine, preplanned disposition by a non-executive director.
