"At the moment, members of management are restricted, which is why we haven't been buying."

He was asked about the period since the UC test results, but
has that been the case since May of 2012, which appears to be the last time he made an open market purchase? (November of 2012 for Ms. Campbell and June of 2007 for Mr. Lehmann.)

"my family has invested repeatedly" could be an issue if "having access to material knowledge that the rest of the market doesn't have" was really the reason for his own lack of buying and he shared any of that knowledge.
I wish I knew enough to know, or he had explained, what he meant by "due to restrictions related to SEC or other regulations that prohibit certain types of trading activity".

I'd feel better if he had answered in a simpler way that left less room for questions, for instance: "I own enough shares (and options) already". That would have been reasonable and true.
