    BETR is up 23.5% with volume running at 3.2 times normal, following the appointment of Linda Yaccarino as an independent director. Her senior media and technology background is notable, but the filing provides no operating, financial, or transaction-specific terms to support a move of this magnitude.

    WHYA 23.5% rally is substantially larger than the disclosed news: a director appointment with no quantified business impact or binding transaction.
