The securities were acquired as restricted stock units on 09/08/2025 from the issuer and the filing records payment or settlement on that same date.

The filing includes a representation that the seller is not aware of undisclosed material adverse information and notes the option to rely on a 10b5-1 plan; no plan adoption date or signature block details are present in the provided content.

Positive

• Disclosure of broker and sale details (Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, NASDAQ, sale date 09/15/2025) provides transparency
• Prior 10b5-1 sale is identified, indicating use of a prearranged trading plan for at least one transaction
• Sales represent a small fraction of the reported 47,905,265 shares outstanding, suggesting limited market impact

Negative

• Insider selling shares (714 proposed plus 1,128 sold in prior three months) could be viewed negatively by some investors
• Plan adoption date and signature details not present in the provided excerpt, limiting confirmation of procedural compliance

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Insider sale of 714 RSU-derived shares planned; prior small sales this quarter; disclosure appears procedural and routine.

The filing documents a proposed Rule 144 sale of 714 common shares with an indicated market value of $18,214.14 executed through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney on NASDAQ. The shares were acquired as restricted stock units from the issuer on 09/08/2025 and appear settled the same day. Prior sales by the same person total 1,128 shares across three transactions in the past three months, including a 10b5-1 sale of 711 shares. These volumes represent a very small fraction of the reported 47,905,265 shares outstanding, suggesting limited direct dilution or market impact from these sales. The notice includes the Rule 144 representation regarding material non-public information; however, no plan adoption date is provided in the content supplied.

Compliance / Corporate Governance Specialist

TL;DR: Filing contains required Rule 144 and 10b5-1 disclosures; appears compliant though plan/signature details are not included in the excerpt.

The submission lists broker details, sale date, class, and acquisition method consistent with Form 144 requirements. It also discloses recent sales including a specifically labeled 10b5-1 sale, which supports an orderly-trading defense if accurate. The filing asserts the seller lacks undisclosed material adverse information. The excerpt does not show the signature block or an explicit 10b5-1 plan adoption date, which are relevant for compliance verification; those items may exist elsewhere in the full filing but are not present here.
