Insights
TL;DR: Director modestly increased holdings via a personal DRIP across three dates, raising insider ownership gradually.
The transactions are routine purchases under a dividend reinvestment plan and appear to be small incremental acquisitions rather than a concentrated buying campaign. The reported holdings after the last purchase total 31,993.4893 shares. Pricing indicates purchases between $18.5092 and $21.91, reflecting purchases over several months rather than a single event. There is no indication of stock option exercises, dispositions, or linked trading plans in this Form 4.
TL;DR: Disclosure is standard and complete for DRIP acquisitions; no governance red flags are apparent from the form.
The reporting person is identified as a director and filed individually, with an explanatory note that the shares came from a personal DRIP not tied to the issuer. The Form 4 lists exact share counts and prices for each transaction and includes a signature by an attorney-in-fact. Absent other filings, these entries are administrative and do not signal a change in board composition or control.
