  • Transaction dates and prices: see list above (05/18 and 05/26/2026).
  • Total reported value: $696,030 for 159,000 ADS.
  • ADS conversion: each ADS represents 4 common shares (F2) — 159,000 ADS = 636,000 common shares.
  • Footnote: amounts stated in Brazilian reais (F1) per the filing.
  • Shares owned after transaction: not provided in the excerpt supplied.

Context
Purchases by insiders are often watched by investors as a signal of confidence, but they do not prove future performance or management intent. Note the filing’s footnotes about currency (BRL) and ADS conversion; also note that the Form 4 filing date suggests a late filing, which can be relevant for regulatory and disclosure timeliness.
