Context
These were outright open‑market sales (dispositions), which are common for insiders to manage holdings or liquidity; sales generally convey less direct insight into management’s view of future stock performance than purchases. The trades were executed by an entity (AWILHELMSEN AS) connected to the reporting person; the filing disclaims direct beneficial ownership beyond pecuniary interest.
