New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: €689k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (currently running at an operating cash loss). High level of non-cash earnings (24% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (4.4% increase in shares outstanding). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (€689k sold). Recent Insider Transactions • Aug 20
