Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Company CEO reported a small open-market purchase of 200 shares at $30.68 on 09/09/2025.

From a securities-analyst perspective this Form 4 documents a modest insider purchase by the CEO, funded via the open market and including participation in the dividend reinvestment plan. The transaction size (200 shares) is small relative to the reported total direct holdings (38,336.6586 shares), suggesting limited immediate impact on ownership concentration or control. This is a routine disclosure required under Section 16 and does not by itself signal material corporate change.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Routine insider acquisition disclosed; consistent with executive ownership maintenance but not materially impactful.

The filing shows compliance with Section 16 reporting and records the CEO's participation in the dividend reinvestment plan. The indirect holding attributed to a child (99.168 shares) is disclosed, demonstrating attention to beneficial ownership rules. There is no indication of amendments, plans like 10b5-1, or derivative transactions in this filing.
