Context
- This was effectively a cashless exercise: options were exercised and the acquired shares were sold the same day. Sales under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan are typically pre-arranged automated trades and should be interpreted as routine insider liquidity rather than a discretionary directional bet.
- The weighted-average sale price is reported; the filer will provide a breakdown of the number of shares sold at each separate price within the $140.38–$142.93 range to any Cirrus Logic security holder or the SEC staff upon request (per F2).
