Context

• Sales executed under a Rule 10b5-1 plan are pre-arranged, scheduled trades and do not necessarily reflect the insider’s current view of the company. The filing also documents several option vesting provisions (including a recent vesting event in February 2026) that may explain the availability of shares for sale. As with all insider sales, this is factual disclosure rather than a buy/sell recommendation.
