Form 144 — notice of proposed sale of securities
Actionable Insight • Neutral

This is a small, routine sale following stock vesting and does not signal material concern. Monitor for actual execution via Form 4 filing. Given recent insider selling trends ($3.4M in 30 days), continued outflows could weigh on sentiment if they accelerate.
