Context

• This was a straightforward sale of shares. Sales by executives can be routine (diversification, tax planning, or liquidity) and do not, by themselves, indicate the insider’s view of the company’s prospects. For purchases or option exercises, additional context (e.g., cashless sale of exercised shares) would be noted; none of those apply here.
