Context
- The 3,284-share "sale" is a routine tax-withholding disposition on vested RSUs/PRSUs and is different from an open-market sell; it does not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment. The 8,026-share item reflects performance-based PRSUs earned above target (192.01%) and will vest later, subject to continued employment.
