Insider sales (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (SMP)
0 of 5 under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (scheduled in advance). Unplanned sales were timed by the insider.
| Trade date | Insider | Role | Shares | Value | % of holdings sold | 10b5-1 plan | Insider type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-09 | Broccole Carmine Joseph | CLO & Secretary | 5,250 | $206K | 6.6% | No | Routine (sold in Nov each year 2023–2025; this trade is outside those months) |
| 2026-08-19 | Burks Dale | Chief Commercial Officer & EVP | 5,798 | $226K | 10.8% | No | Routine (sold in Nov each year 2023–2025; this trade is outside those months) |
| 2026-08-14…2026-08-18 | Burks Dale | Chief Commercial Officer & EVP | 12,551 | $486K | 19% | No | Routine (sold in Nov each year 2023–2025; this trade is outside those months) |
| 2026-06-08 | Nicholas Ray | CIO & VP IT | 5,822 | $231K | 14.1% | No | Routine (sold in Nov each year 2023–2025; this trade is outside those months) |

% of holdings sold = shares sold ÷ (shares sold + all holdings the insider reported on that Form 4, direct and through trusts).
Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.
