Size vs officer pay

This purchase equals less than 1% of the average reported total pay of the company's named executive officers other than the CEO, fiscal 2024 ($12.7M)

An average across the officers named in the pay versus performance table of the company's proxy statement (DEF 14A), filed 2026-03-25. This person may not be one of them, so it is not their own pay. A size comparison, not a judgement

Timing vs results

75 days after results of Jan 24, 2025, 8 days before results of Apr 17, 2025

Results dates are the company's own 8-K (Item 2.02). Many companies only let insiders trade in a window after results
