Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2026-06-20 to 2026-10-18. 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.

"(the "Company") dismissed Grant Thornton LLP ("Grant Thornton") as the Company's independent registered accounting firm, effective as of that date."

Type: dismissed
Disagreements reported: no
Former auditor: Grant Thornton LLP · New auditor: KPMG LLP
