Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2025-08-30 to 2025-12-28. 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.
