Insights

Securities Compliance Analyst

TL;DR: Routine Rule 144 disclosure showing vested restricted shares and prior open-market insider sales.

The filing documents a proposed sale under Rule 144 of 749 shares that vested on 10/01/2025 and were classified as compensation, which is consistent with insiders selling shares received on vesting after required holding/transfer conditions are met. The notice also lists two prior sales by the same individual totaling 27,468 shares in July 2025, with gross proceeds shown; these are reported transactions rather than an unexplained transfer.

Insider Activity Analyst

TL;DR: Significant prior July sales by the same person may be material to investor interest.

The disclosure shows prior open-market sales of 25,000 shares for $1,080,075.17 and 2,468 shares for $81,567.89, which are concrete, reportable insider dispositions in the recent quarter. These historical sales provide context for the smaller proposed sale of vested compensation shares.
