Context

• 10b5‑1 plans allow insiders to preauthorize trades on a set schedule or parameters; transactions under these plans are often routine and executed regardless of short-term company news. The filing shows a straightforward open-market sale; it does not indicate the insider’s longer-term view of the company.
