Additional Context

Transaction Notes

• Filing Type: This Form 144 is a notice of a proposed sale, not a confirmation of a completed transaction. It indicates the insider's intent to sell the specified shares in the near future.
• Acquisition Source: The shares to be sold were acquired through a Non-qualified Stock Option (NQO) issuance on the same day as the proposed sale date, indicating a likely "cashless exercise" and sale.
