Context
- This was a sale (not a purchase or option exercise). Sales by insiders can be routine (liquidity, diversification, tax planning) and do not necessarily signal negative company outlook. Because these were ADSs (depositary receipts), the reported sale reflects U.S.-traded units that represent multiple underlying Mexican ordinary shares.
