Context
This was effectively a cashless exercise: Wentworth paid the exercise cost to convert options into shares and sold those shares the same day under a 10b5‑1 plan. Such exercises followed by immediate sales are commonly routine (e.g., to cover exercise/tax costs) and do not, by themselves, indicate a change in insider sentiment.
