Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Routine Form 144 reporting a small block sale and recent 10b5-1 executions; no new financial results disclosed.

The filing documents a proposed public sale of 12,500 common shares through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney with an aggregate market value of $139,125 and identifies the securities as originally acquired in a SPAC transaction on 07/01/2013. It also provides explicit transactional history showing six 10b5-1 sales of 12,500 shares each in June, July and August 2025 across two accounts, with gross proceeds reported per trade.
