Routine insider option exercise with updated holdings.

The filing documents a Form 4 event: a code M option exercise of 5,000 shares at $11. Post-transaction direct ownership is 81,168 common shares, with an additional 53,480 shares held indirectly by IRA. Derivative holdings list 10,000 options remaining following the transaction.

This appears administrative in nature and tied to the company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, which vested in 20% tranches from 2017 through 2021. The actual impact on float and trading activity depends on any subsequent sales, which are not indicated in the excerpt.
