- Transaction date: June 30, 2026.
- Option exercises: 814 shares @ $4.14 (cost $3,370); 5,752 shares @ $6.49 (cost $37,330). Total exercise cost ≈ $40,700.
- Open‑market sale: 6,566 shares @ $14.00 = $91,924 proceeds.
- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing.
- Footnotes: sale executed pursuant to a 10b5‑1 trading plan adopted Jan 13, 2026. Filing also references vesting schedules for the option awards (monthly vesting from March 6, 2025 and June 16, 2022).

Context
- The transactions are coded as option exercises (M) followed by an open‑market sale (S). Converting options into shares and immediately selling them is a common cashless outcome; the separate $0 derivative disposals reflect the conversion step.
- The sale was made under a prearranged 10b5‑1 plan, which typically schedules trades in advance. Sales by insiders can be routine for liquidity or tax reasons and do not, by themselves, indicate company outlook.
