Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

Director sold a small portion of holdings; remaining stake stays material.

The reported transaction shows a disposal of 5,000 common shares on 10/07/2025

This reduces the director's direct holding to 51,927 shares but does not eliminate ownership; the sale size appears modest relative to the remaining stake. Watch subsequent Section 16 filings for any pattern of disposals within the next 30 days that could indicate systematic selling.
