- This was effectively a cashless exercise followed by immediate open-market sales (common for option holders to cover exercise cost/taxes or monetize gains). The presence of a 10b5-1 plan means the sales were prearranged. The option vesting schedule noted in the filing: 1/4 vested Oct 3, 2023, with the remainder vesting monthly (1/48th) thereafter, subject to continued service.
