Context
- The Feb 25 entry was an open‑market sale (S) — common, often routine for liquidity or diversification and not in itself a directional signal about company prospects. The Feb 26 entries are plan credits/awards and stock‑option grants (derivative/award activity), not open‑market purchases.
- For full details (exact post‑transaction holdings, separate prices per trade, and grant/award terms) retail investors should review the complete Form 4 (Accession 0000021344-26-000037).
