Context
Sales made under a 10b5-1 plan are typically pre‑arranged and scheduled, which can reduce the implication that the sale reflects a change in the insider’s view of the company. For retail investors, purchases generally carry more informational weight than routine, pre‑planned sales; this filing documents a planned disposition of shares by the CFO.
