Context

• HRT FINANCIAL LP is a 10% beneficial owner (institutional), not an executive — institutional trading can reflect portfolio rebalancing or strategy rather than management sentiment.
• Multiple buys and sells on nearby dates can reflect active portfolio management; the net position here was an increase in holdings.
• Footnote about short sales (F2) indicates at least some disposals were short-sale related, which is different from an outright sell of long holdings.
