Context

• Because the sale was made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, it was executed according to a pre-established schedule or formula, which is commonly used to avoid timing-based trading decisions. Sales under such plans are generally considered routine disposition of shares rather than a direct signal of the insider’s short-term view.
