Context
These disposals were part of an acquisition under a British Columbia arrangement agreement in which all non‑dissenting shares were converted into the right to receive US$3.65 in cash. Per the agreement, outstanding options/derivatives were cashed out or cancelled based on their exercise prices (holders received the excess of $3.65 over exercise price, if any). This is a liquidity event (deal consideration), not a typical insider sale signaling sentiment.
