Context

• Insider sales can be for many reasons (diversification, tax needs, routine selling under pre-existing plans) and are not definitive indicators of management sentiment. Purchases typically carry more weight for signaling confidence. The footnote shows Cagnoni’s reported ownership includes a material number of unvested RSUs/PSUs (183,200), which affects the count of shares beneficially owned though those shares are not yet vested.
