Context

  • These were open-market purchases (transaction code P). Footnotes indicate the 5/27 and 5/28 amounts are weighted-average prices covering multiple trades at slightly different prices; the filer offered to provide breakdowns on request (F2, F3).
  • Ownership includes direct holdings and unvested RSUs; the filing does not indicate option exercises, gifts, or tax-withholding sales. Purchases by insiders can attract attention from retail investors but are only one data point when evaluating a company.
