Key Details

• Transaction dates and prices:
  • 2026-05-08: 22,150 shares @ $13.56 (weighted avg; prices in range $13.51–$13.61) — $300,354
  • 2026-05-12: 200 shares @ $12.17 — $2,434
• Total acquired: 22,350 shares for ~$302,788.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in the Form 4 filing.
• Footnotes of note:
  • F1: The $13.56 price is a weighted average for multiple trades between $13.51 and $13.61; the filer will provide transaction-level prices on request.
  • F2: The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of securities held by his spouse except to the extent of his pecuniary interest.
• Timeliness: The Form 4 was filed on 2026-05-12 covering a 2026-05-08 trade — this appears to be filed after the two-business-day SEC deadline for that trade (i.e., late by one business day). The 5/12 trade was filed same day.

Context
These were straightforward open-market purchases (code P), not option exercises or gifts. Purchases by a company CEO can be interpreted by investors as a positive signal, but filings are factual disclosures only — they do not explain the insider's motivation.
