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: €967k 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 Risk Negative equity (-US$4.8b). Minor Risks Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (€967k sold).

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: €1.1m 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 Risk Negative equity (-US$4.3b). Minor Risks Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (€1.1m sold).
