Context
- These filings reflect institutional activity by a reported 10% owner, not routine insider selling by company executives. The convertible-preferred entries are automatic conversions into common stock tied to the company’s IPO structure (not exercised options requiring cash).
- Purchases at $17 could reflect the IPO/offer price or related private purchases, but the filing itself only reports the $17 per-share price and total cash paid. Purchases are generally taken as a stronger signal than sales, but filings do not state motivation.
