Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

Small, routine insider sale of vested RSUs reported.

The filing shows a reported disposition of 820 shares via Restricted Stock Units on 05/15/2026 with proceeds of $91,967.26. The transaction size is small relative to the disclosed outstanding share count of 40,237,065 as of 05/18/2026.

Because this is a single Form 144 notice for a modest amount, the direct market impact is likely limited; subsequent filings may show whether additional planned dispositions occur.
