Important Facts for Investors to Verify

- Confirm if the Management sales were part of a pre-arranged trading plan (Rule 10b5-1 equivalent) or discretionary decisions.
- Check subsequent filings for any changes in the Board of Directors' or Fiscal Council's holdings, as they remained static in this period.
- Review the company's quarterly earnings report for the full financial performance context, as this filing contains no operational data.
