Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2025-01-07 to 2025-05-07. 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

"4.01 of its Form 8-K dated April 7, 2025, and we agree with such statements, except that we are not in a position to agree or disagree with Lineage Inc.'s statement that the dismissal was approved by the audit committee of the board of directors or with the statements in Item 4.01(b)."

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
