Additional Context

Transaction Notes

• The filing documents a disposition of 739,885 shares held directly and a simultaneous acquisition of the same number of shares by the 'Thye Trust', an indirect holding vehicle for the insider. This is a change in the form of ownership, not a change in the insider's total holdings.
