Insights
TL;DR Insider reported a mandatory redemption of 1,800 Series B preferred shares, leaving no beneficial ownership.
The filing documents a non-voluntary exit from the Series B preferred position: 1,800 cumulative preferred shares were redeemed at $10 per share on 09/26/2025, reducing the reporting person’s beneficial holdings to zero. This is a mechanical capital return to holders rather than an open-market sale, so it does not signal a typical liquidity-driven insider disposition. The transaction affects preferred capital structure but contains no information on common equity holdings or broader corporate actions.
TL;DR Director's Form 4 reflects compliance with mandatory redemption terms; no further governance actions disclosed.
The Form 4 shows the reporting person complied with the mandatory redemption of Series B Cumulative Preferred Shares. It is a disclosure of execution of contractually required redemption rather than a voluntary change in governance stake. The document does not report amendments, derivative positions, or ongoing agreements; it is confined to the single redemption event and the resulting zero beneficial ownership of that security class.
