Insights

Insider transactions analyst

Routine insider tax withholding; no open-market sale.

The filing lists multiple Code F entries on 11/12/2025 at $16.61 per share. Code F indicates shares were withheld to satisfy tax obligations upon vesting, not discretionary selling in the open market. The response note ties these vestings to the closing under a Purchase Agreement dated August 1, 2025.

After these entries, the reporting person directly holds 54,110 shares of common stock. This is administrative in nature and typical around vesting events. Actual trading impact depends on broader float and liquidity; the entry itself does not signal a change in company fundamentals.
