The transaction involves the sale of 608 ordinary shares by Chief Medical Officer Philippe Menu at a weighted average price of $5.2002 per share. Footnotes state these sales were to cover tax withholding obligations from vesting restricted stock units on April 18, 2026.
The filing also discloses that the sales were executed under a pre-established Rule 10b5-1(c) trading plan, meaning the timing was pre-arranged rather than discretionary.
