"Disclosed insider exposure" sums this person's most-recently-reported share counts across each company they're an insider in, multiplied by the current underlying price. It is not net worth — it misses retail holdings, private investments, real estate, index funds, and any company where the person isn't an SEC-reporting insider. For informational purposes only.

Form 4 codes: P = open-market purchase · S = open-market sale · A = grant/award · M = option exercise · F = tax withholding at vest · G = bona-fide gift · D = disposition to issuer · J = other (see filing footnote). Only P / S codes carry directional signal.
Notice (144 / 144/A): Form 144 is a notice of intent to sell restricted/control stock under Rule 144, filed before the sale; 144/A is an amendment. Many notices are pre-scheduled under Rule 10b5-1 plans. A Form 4 with code S typically follows within a few days when the planned sale executes; missing follow-up Form 4s suggest the notice was cancelled or modified.
