Rule 10b5-1 Plan regulatory
"This transaction was effected pursuant to a previously established Rule 10b5-1 Plan adopted by the reporting person on November 11, 2025."
A Rule 10b5-1 plan is a prearranged, written schedule that lets corporate insiders buy or sell company stock at set times or amounts, even if they later learn material nonpublic information. Think of it like setting an automatic thermostat for trades: it creates a clear record that trades were planned in advance, reducing the risk of insider-trading accusations and helping investors trust that insider transactions are routine rather than based on secret information.
open-market sale financial
"transaction_action: "open-market sale" and description: "Sale in open market or private transaction""
An open-market sale is when a shareholder sells existing shares directly on a public exchange to any willing buyer, rather than through a private deal. Think of it like putting goods on a busy market stall where price is set by supply and demand; for investors it matters because such sales increase available supply, can put short-term downward pressure on the stock price, and signal changes in liquidity or investor confidence.
weighted average sale price financial
"The price reported above reflects the weighted average sale price."
