“We sold Sleep Number Corporation (NASDAQ:SNBR) during the quarter. In late January, Sleep Number announced that the CFO, David Callen, was stepping down to pursue other opportunities. We respected David Callen as a key leader. Sleep Number has an elevated level of debt combined with ongoing supply issues and a likely tough macro environment. The abrupt departure of David Callen within this environment concerned us, and we exited the position.”
