"10b5-1 Sales for CHAD WHALEN 801 5th Avenue Seattle WA"

A 10b5-1 plan is a pre-set schedule that lets company insiders buy or sell shares according to written instructions made when they do not possess material, nonpublic information. Think of it as a timed automatic payment for stock trades: it helps insiders avoid accusations of trading on secret information and gives outside investors a clearer signal about whether sales are routine or potentially informative about the company’s prospects.
