Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

Insider sales were executed under a pre-set plan, indicating procedural compliance.

The reported 10b5-1 plan sale of 750 shares on 10/01/2025 shows the officer used an established trading framework to avoid timing concerns. Such plans are commonly used to demonstrate compliance with insider trading rules.

This filing documents routine, documented disposals rather than ad hoc executive selling; the filing notes the plan adoption date of May 22, 2025.

Compensation & Equity Analyst

Additional sale of 520 shares reflects tax-withholding on RSU vesting, not a discretionary cash sale.

The Form states the 520 shares on 10/02/2025 were automatically sold to cover income tax withholding tied to restricted stock units. This is a common post-vesting administrative step that reduces share count without indicating a decision to liquidate net compensation proceeds.

Beneficial ownership decreased to 103,058 shares after the transactions.
