Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Insider sale of 911 shares executed under a 10b5-1 plan; routine disclosure with limited market impact.

The filing discloses a single non-derivative disposition of 911 shares at $65.00 on 09/02/2025 by an executive officer. The transaction was executed pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted 11/12/2024, which typically indicates pre-authorized trading rather than opportunistic insider timing. The remaining direct beneficial ownership is recorded as 4,283 shares. Given the modest size of the sale relative to typical executive holdings, this appears to be a routine liquidity event and not a material corporate development.

Corporate Governance Specialist

TL;DR: Proper use of a 10b5-1 plan and timely Form 4 filing demonstrate compliance with insider trading rules.

The disclosure includes necessary elements: insider identity, relationship to issuer, transaction date, transaction code, shares sold, price, post-transaction holdings, and a remark noting the 10b5-1 plan adoption date. The Form 4 was executed by an attorney-in-fact, which is common. From a governance perspective, the filing shows timely, structured trading consistent with compliance protocols.
