Recommendation

The reported sales by a director were executed under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which was adopted several months prior to the transactions. Such planned sales are generally not indicative of new material information about the company's performance or future outlook. Therefore, this filing alone does not warrant a change in investment recommendation, and a 'hold' stance is maintained.
