Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR Multiple open-market sales and a large $0 transfer by a director materially alter his direct ownership profile.

The report clarifies beneficial ownership structure: direct holdings were reduced through multiple market transactions executed at different price bands on 08/13/2025 and an entry showing 200,000 shares with $0.00 consideration was recorded the same day. The filing also discloses indirect holdings via The Chen Family 2012 Irrevocable Trust with Mr. Chen and spouse as trustees. These disclosures satisfy Section 16 reporting by identifying both direct and indirect positions and providing weighted-average price notes for the sales.
