Highlights

  • CEO Moraitis received 471,015 RSUs vesting 2027–2029, transferred to a trust—not an open-market purchase with personal capital.
  • Former CEO Barbara Humpton sold 88,391 shares for ~$1.22M, but SEC filings confirm it was a sell-to-cover for taxes on vested RSUs.
  • CLO Valerie Ford Jacob received 14,493 RSUs and director Thomas Caulfield received 1,482 shares as board compensation—both routine equity grants.
  • No insider made a discretionary open-market purchase, making the overall signal neutral rather than bullish or bearish.
