Context
These are open‑market sales by the company’s CEO and chairman. Sales by insiders can reflect personal portfolio management or diversification and are not, by themselves, a definitive signal about the company’s fundamentals. Purchases are generally considered more informative than sales; this filing is solely dispositional (S code) and does not report any option exercises, awards, or gifts.
