Context
These sales were prearranged under a 10b5‑1 plan, which is commonly used by insiders to systematically sell shares and generally indicates routine disposition rather than an ad‑hoc market timing decision. For retail investors, purchases by insiders typically carry more direct signaling than routine plan‑based sales.
