This Form 144 filing indicates an intent to sell additional shares by the family of an officer and director, William B. Cyr. While the current proposed sale is modest, the filing also discloses over $2.3 million in sales by the same insider group over the past three months. These sales, totaling nearly $2.5 million, occur as the stock trades near its 52-week low, which could be interpreted as a lack of confidence in a near-term rebound from a key insider's family.
