In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Interim CEO & Principal Operating Officer Scott Wagner bought US$677k worth of shares at a price of US$5.26 per share. We do like to see buying, but this purchase was made at well below the current price of US$6.66. While it does suggest insiders consider the stock undervalued at lower prices, this transaction doesn't tell us much about what they think of current prices.

That equates to 3.1% of the company. While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders.
