Context

• The primary action was a straightforward open-market purchase (a net buy), which many retail investors view as a more informative signal than routine sales because it reflects capital put to work.
• The October 2025 entries are derivative warrants (not exercises); they give the right to buy shares at $15.50 and are distinct from the March 2026 cash purchase.
• No indication of tax withholding, 10b5-1 plan, cashless exercise, or gifting in this filing.
