The other trades this month were:
    •    Senior Vice President of Legal and General Counsel Jeffrey Groves, who bought 10,000 shares at $33.68 apiece and sold them for roughly $252.52 apiece to net $2.2 million;
    •    Senior Vice President of Finance and Controller Jeremy Fletcher, who made $324,600 after buying and selling 1,500 shares; and
    •    Senior Vice President of Inventory Management Randy Johnson, who netted $227,438 off the purchase and sale of 1,040 company shares.
