Context

A 10b5-1 trading plan lets insiders pre-specify trades to avoid accusations of trading on material nonpublic information; such sales are often routine and should be interpreted cautiously. This filing documents outright sales (code S) in the open market or private sale; it does not indicate any exercises, gifts, or awards.
