Showing 25 of 35 transactions.
Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2025-12-19 to 2026-04-18. 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.
"As a result of this process, following the review and evaluation of the proposals from participating firms, on March 16, 2026, the Audit Committee approved the dismissal of Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm."
