What changed in the last 30 days
Oct 14EVP & Chief Commercial Officer Bys Jay A. sold $643.0K under a 10b5-1 plan (Oct 12)
Why it matters
A 10b5-1 plan schedules trades months ahead, so this says little about what the insider thinks today.
Oct 13Officer Bys Jay A. filed to sell $643.0K by Oct 12 (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.
