• Sales were executed pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted December 3, 2025 (pre-established trading instructions).
• Shares owned after the transactions: not disclosed in the provided filing excerpt.

Context

• Because the sales were made under a 10b5-1 plan (adopted prior to these trades), they were pre-arranged and reduce the likelihood the trades reflect contemporaneous insider views about the company.
• For retail investors, purchases are typically more informative about insider sentiment than pre-arranged sales; these transactions appear to be routine liquidity under a plan rather than ad-hoc insider selling.
