Analysis
An officer's intent to sell shares, even if acquired through compensation, contributes to a pattern of insider distribution. This filing adds to the $4.1 million in net insider sales over the past 90 days and comes shortly after news of an investigation into the company's board and senior management. While the individual sale is modest, the cumulative effect and timing are notable.
