"Notification and public disclosure of transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities"
A person discharging managerial responsibilities is an individual who holds a senior role with authority to make or influence a company’s strategic or operational decisions, such as executives, board members, or other top managers. Investors care because these people often have access to confidential information and their buying or selling of company shares must be disclosed—like a referee who knows the score before the crowd, their actions can signal important, non-public insights about a company's prospects.
