The insider sales by Craig E. Hunsaker, EVP, People & Culture, totaling 60,876 shares, were conducted under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. This indicates the transactions are for personal financial planning and not a reflection of new, material non-public information regarding Alphatec Holdings, Inc.'s performance or outlook.

Therefore, the filing itself does not provide a basis for a change in investment thesis, warranting a 'hold' recommendation.
