Context
Sales by directors can be for many personal or estate-planning reasons and do not necessarily indicate a change in view on the company. Here, part of the activity was executed by trusts of which Leimkuhler is trustee; the filing does not state any motivation. For retail investors, purchases tend to carry more weight as signals; this Form 4 documents routine insider selling activity.
