"10b5-1 Sales for JONATHAN W THAYER ... 04/21/2026"

A 10b5-1 plan is a pre-set schedule that lets company insiders buy or sell shares according to written instructions made when they do not possess material, nonpublic information. Think of it as a timed automatic payment for stock trades: it helps insiders avoid accusations of trading on secret information and gives outside investors a clearer signal about whether sales are routine or potentially informative about the company’s prospects.

Form 144 regulatory

Form 144 is a document that investors must file with the government when they plan to sell a large number of shares of a company's stock. It helps ensure transparency so everyone knows how many shares are being sold and when, which can impact the stock's price.
