Buy Plan / Sale Plan: These are also open market purchases/sales of shares, but in this case the transaction is part of a trading plan. Rule 10b5-1 allows insiders to setup a trading plan to buy/sell stocks over a certain period of time. Since the purchases/sales are predetermined, this protects the insiders from violating insider trading law.

Transaction was made pursuant to a contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of equity securities of the issuer that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c).

Remarks:

This Form 4 is the second of two Form 4s being filed by the reporting person. Because the SEC's EDGAR filing system limits a single Form 4 to a maximum of 30 separate lines, the report has been split into two filings to cover all transactions that occurred on May 31, 2024 and all other holdings as of such date.
