Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2025-04-22 to 2025-08-20. Excludes option exercises, grants, gifts and tax withholding. Amended filings replace the originals; joint filings count once. Foreign private issuers do not file Form 4. Many insider sales are pre-scheduled (10b5-1 plans) and are not by themselves a sign of wrongdoing.

Verified excerpt

"(the "Company") of its resignation as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year-end audit for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025."

Quoted from the filing. Source

What this means

Type: resigned
Disagreements reported: no
Former auditor: PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

Why this score: auditor resigned; also within 90 days: Late quarterly report (NT 10-Q)
