Insiders use such plans to remove the appearance of bias from the knowledge of nonpublic information. The plans automatically execute trades when preset conditions, such as price, volume, and timing, are met.
I'm not sure how margin rules work at these levels but that's another reason to assume nothing about insider sales, at this level your personal lifestyle liquidity can generally come from margin lending and not asset sales.
