- Opaleye is a large institutional holder (10% owner) and the trades appear to be institutional sales — such activity can reflect portfolio rebalancing, liquidity needs, or other account management rather than insider sentiment about company fundamentals. The filing’s footnotes clarify that the shares are held through funds/managed accounts and that Opaleye disclaims beneficial ownership beyond its pecuniary interest.
