Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Officer sold a small block of shares and still holds a meaningful direct stake; an additional 1,750 shares are indirectly held by a child.

The 2,000-share disposition reported with transaction code "G" indicates a routine sale. Post-transaction direct beneficial ownership is 31,432 shares, which shows continued ownership alignment with the company. The disclosure of 1,750 shares held indirectly by a child is standard insider household reporting and does not itself indicate additional transactions. No options or derivative activity were reported.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Disclosure appears complete for the reported non-derivative sale and family-held indirect interest; no governance red flags in the filing text.
