Context
Insider sales are common and can be for many personal reasons (diversification, tax planning, etc.); they do not by themselves prove a change in the CEO’s view of the company. For retail investors, purchases typically carry more interpretive weight than routine sales. This filing documents open-market disposals only; there is no indication here of option exercises, gifts, or a 10b5-1 plan in the provided text.
