2026-03-20: red flag filed

Showing 25 of 27 transactions.

Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2025-12-20 to 2026-04-19. 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") dismissed Baker Tilly US, LLP ("Baker Tilly") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm."

What this means

Type: dismissed
Disagreements reported: no
Former auditor: Baker Tilly US, LLP · New auditor: PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

Why this score: also within 90 days: Non-reliance / restatement
