Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-01-27 (reported on Form 4 filed 2026-01-29 — timely filing).
- Total shares acquired via exercise: 140,000; total exercise cost reported: $1,608,700.

- Transaction code: M (exercise or conversion of derivative securities).

Context
- This filing reflects option exercises (an acquisition) rather than an open-market purchase or sale. Purchases via exercising options require paying the strike price; they do not by themselves indicate a market sale of shares.
- The presence of matching disposed derivative entries at $0 is consistent with conversion/retirement of the exercised derivative instruments; the Form 4 does not show proceeds from any immediate cash sales.
