Corporate Governance Specialist

TL;DR: Transaction is a documented insider sale with clear post-transaction ownership disclosure; materiality appears routine.

The report identifies the reporting person as an officer (President, STC Division) and provides precise counts of shares sold and remaining beneficial ownership (264,074 direct; 46,644 indirect). Footnotes detail price ranges and commit the reporting person to provide breakdowns on request, which supports regulatory transparency.
