Monitor for the actual sale execution and any subsequent Form 4 filings. A large pre-IPO holder signaling an exit could pressure the stock in the near term, especially given the stock's strong recent performance (up ~25% over the prior 60 days per historical data). Watch for additional selling by other insiders or funds.
