Context These were outright purchases (not option exercises or gifts). One tranche was an IPO allocation (F2), which means those shares were bought on the same terms as other IPO investors rather than as a secondary-market open-market buy. The weighted-average price footnote (F1) indicates that the reported $3.11 entry aggregates multiple executions at prices between $2.94 and $3.40.
