Context

• This was a sale (liquidity event), which is common for insiders for reasons such as diversification or transfers; it does not by itself indicate the company’s prospects. The sale was executed in multiple trades at varying prices; the filing reports the weighted-average price but offers to provide per-trade details on request (F1).
