- Notable footnote: Sales were made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by Ullal on November 14, 2025.
- Ownership after transaction: The Form 4 does not specify the total shares beneficially owned by the reporting person after these sales.

Context
These sales were executed under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan, which usually means the trades were planned in advance and are not ad hoc reactions to company news. For retail investors, selling by insiders is common for diversification or tax/liquidity needs and is less informative than insider buying when gauging management’s view of future prospects.
