What changed in the last 30 days
Oct 14Former Officer Greenstein Leonard M. filed to sell $57.9K by Oct 14 (Form 144)
Why it matters
A Form 144 is a notice of intent to sell; the sale may not happen, and it says nothing about the price.
Oct 6Chief Operating Officer Bertolini Jeffrey sold $14.1K under a 10b5-1 plan (2 trades, Sep 30 to Oct 5)
Why it matters
A 10b5-1 plan schedules trades months ahead, so this says little about what the insider thinks today.
Oct 5Officer Bertolini Jeffrey filed to sell $10.7K by Oct 5 (Form 144)
