Insights

TL;DR Director Herald Y. Chen executed a sizable block of open-market sales and a large $0 transfer, materially changing his direct stake.

The sequential sales on 08/13/2025 total 35,191 shares disposed of at weighted-average prices ranging roughly from $453.78 to $464.40, reducing direct beneficial ownership to 181,929 Class A shares. The Form also records a separate 200,000-share item reported at $0.00, which appears as a disposition on the Form of record; additionally, 190,000 shares remain held indirectly via a family irrevocable trust. For investors, the filing documents a meaningful change in the director's direct stake on a single day, with complete per-trade detail available upon request per the filer’s footnotes.

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.
