Context
Insider sales can reflect personal financial planning (diversification, taxes, cash needs) and do not necessarily indicate negative views on the company; purchases tend to be more informative about insider confidence. Bastarrica is an executive (VP Controller), not a disclosed 10% owner, so this looks like individual insider selling rather than a large-block institutional transfer. For full details, including current holdings and any footnotes, consult the official Form 4 filing on EDGAR (Accession 0001745084-26-000006).
