TL;DR: Insider executed routine equity dispositions totaling 204,326 shares; substantial remaining direct and indirect holdings persist.
The reported transactions on September 8-9, 2025 represent multiple sales across five reported price ranges with weighted-average prices disclosed in the filing. Total shares sold amount to 204,326, reducing direct beneficial ownership to 4,363,780 shares. The filing discloses an indirect position of 2,054,978 shares held in a fund for the reporting person’s minor children, for which the reporting person retains sole control. One small lot of 4,326 shares was sold to satisfy tax withholding on RSU vesting under the issuer's equity plan. There is no disclosure in this Form 4 of any new acquisitions, option exercises, or change in board/officer status. From a financial perspective, these are routine dispositions and the remaining ownership remains material.
TL;DR: Reported insider sales include mandated tax-withholding and routine open-market dispositions; control over an indirect holding is retained.
The filing identifies Shay Banon as both an officer (CTO) and a director and records multiple open-market sales plus a sell-to-cover for tax obligations tied to equity vesting. The reporting person maintains sole control over an indirect block held for minor children, which continues to be reported as indirect beneficial ownership. The Form 4 is properly signed by a POA and provides weighted-average sale prices and ranges. No other governance actions or changes in relationship to the issuer are disclosed in this filing.
