Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2026-03-24 to 2026-07-22. 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.
"Therefore, the Company's previous evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2026 should no longer be relied upon. ​ Investors and other readers should rely only on the financial information and related disclosures regarding the Affected Period in the Form 10-Q/A and in any other future filings with the SEC (as applicable)."
Quoted from the filing. Source
The company says previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon (8-K Item 4.02). This is one of the most serious accounting red flags: past reported numbers were wrong and will be restated.
