- Confirm the total volume of shares sold by management (approx. 86,100 shares at market price) against the company's overall float to gauge market impact.
- Review the "Resignation" transaction of 2.2 million shares to determine if this represents a change in executive compensation structure or a departure of a key executive.
- Check subsequent filings for the Board of Directors and Fiscal Council to ensure no delayed reporting of transactions occurred.
