Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2026-05-14 to 2026-09-11. 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 dismissal of Salberg & Company, P.A. ("Salberg") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately."

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: dismissed
Disagreements reported: no
Former auditor: SALBERG & COMPANY, P.A. · New auditor: Ernst & Young LLP
