- Sale: 8,064 shares sold at $23.66 each (total $190,794).

Context
- This sequence (exercise of options followed by an immediate sale) is commonly a cashless exercise: the insider exercises options and sells the resulting shares, often to cover the exercise cost and taxes. The presence of a 10b5-1 plan indicates the sales were pre-scheduled.
- Sales are often routine and don’t necessarily signal a change in an insider’s view; purchases typically carry more weight as a bullish signal.
