Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2026-01-15 to 2026-05-15. 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

"As a result of this process and following careful deliberation, on April 13, 2026 , the Audit Committee dismissed Deloitte as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately."
