Insights
TL;DR: Insider sold a meaningful block of shares to the issuer under a repurchase agreement; retained a sizeable indirect stake via a trust.
The disposal of 179,800 shares at $17.39, executed under a Stock Repurchase Agreement dated September 7, 2025, reduces the reporting person's direct holdings but leaves an aggregate reported beneficial ownership of 1,618,202 shares held indirectly through the Joe and Kim Burns Trust. The transaction is recorded as a sale to the issuer rather than an open-market sale, which affects market liquidity differently. The filing discloses clear control of trust-held shares by Mr. Burns, indicating continued influence over those shares.
TL;DR: The filing documents an issuer repurchase-related disposition while confirming the reporting person retains voting and dispositive authority via a trust.
As trustee with sole voting and dispositive power over the Trust's shares, Mr. Burns maintains indirect control over 1,618,202 shares despite the disposition. The repurchase agreement mechanism is explicitly cited in the explanation, which is important for disclosure transparency. The filing also shows joint ownership (JTWROS) of a small block, and a separate direct disposition of 29,574 shares, all properly itemized on Form 4.
