Insights
TL;DR: Insider sold 11,367 shares under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan; proceeds and holdings changed modestly without other company financial data.
The reported disposals total 11,367 shares sold on 09/15/2025 in multiple trades at weighted-average prices of $35.9004 and $36.4748. These transactions were executed under a Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted on October 25, 2024, which indicates scheduled selling rather than ad hoc sales. The filings show the reporting person’s beneficial ownership decreased to 83,589 and then to 81,524 shares after each reported sale. There is no accompanying operational or earnings information in this Form 4 to assess company performance; the impact should be interpreted in that limited context.
TL;DR: Use of a 10b5-1 plan implies procedural compliance but raises governance questions investors may monitor.
The Form 4 discloses sales executed pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on October 25, 2024, which typically provides affirmative defenses to insider trading claims when properly structured. The signature was provided by an attorney-in-fact, consistent with routine processing. While these sales reduce the officer’s direct holdings, the filing contains no indication of material noncompliance or other governance red flags. The transactions are notable for transparency but do not by themselves indicate operational problems.
