Context This filing documents a sale (routine insider selling) rather than a purchase; gifts are typically transfers and do not necessarily signal the insider’s market view. The weighted average and price range indicate the 4,000 shares were sold in multiple trades. The footnote about the 285-share adjustment relates to dividends/restricted awards and affects total holdings but is not a separate market transaction.
