The sale was executed under a Rule 10b5‑1 trading plan.

Context
- This is effectively a cashless exercise: Burrows exercised options and sold the same number of shares the same day. That is a common way for insiders to cover option exercise costs and taxes and does not necessarily indicate a change in his view of the company.
- Sales were done via an established 10b5‑1 plan (adopted Nov 10, 2025), which specifies pre‑arranged trading instructions and helps distinguish routine, planned sales from ad‑hoc trades.
