2025-08-27: red flag filed

Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2025-05-29 to 2025-09-26. 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 ") approved the replacement of Freed Maxick P.C. (" FM ") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, due to the acquisition of certain assets of FM by Withum Smith+Brown, PC (" Withum "), effective immediately, and informed FM of such replacement on the date thereof (the " Replacement ")."

Quoted from the filing. Source

What this means

The company changed its outside auditor (8-K Item 4.01). A dismissal or resignation, especially near an annual report or with reported disagreements, is a warning sign. Changes caused by audit firms merging are usually routine.

Type: changed
Disagreements reported: no
New auditor: WithumSmith+Brown, PC

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