Rule 144 regulatory

"See the definition of "person" in paragraph (a) of Rule 144."

Rule 144 is a U.S. securities regulation that sets conditions under which restricted or insider-held shares can be legally resold to the public, such as required holding periods, availability of public information, limits on how much can be sold at once, and certain filing requirements. For investors it matters because it determines when previously locked-up shares can enter the market — like a release valve that can increase supply, affect share price, and signal insider intent.
