Context
This was a merger-related disposition (conversion of stock under the Merger Agreement), not an open-market sale. The $0.00 price reflects share conversion into Community West stock rather than cash proceeds; such transactions are routine in M&A and do not, by themselves, indicate the insider's market view.
