• Transaction date: 2026-02-02; Price: $27.40; Shares sold: 1,200; Proceeds: $32,880.
• Filing date: 2026-02-04 (filed two days after the trade; appears timely under Form 4 rules).
• Footnote: Sale executed pursuant to a pre-established 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person on May 14, 2025 (provides an affirmative defense to insider-trading claims when trades follow a prearranged plan).

Context
Sales by executives are often routine (e.g., diversification, tax planning) and a 10b5-1 plan indicates the trade was prearranged rather than a discretionary decision made at the time. This single small-scale sale (≈$33k) is not, by itself, a clear signal of changed insider confidence in the company.
