- Shares withheld for taxes: 1,674 shares at $27.32 each = $45,734 (treated as a disposition for tax withholding).

Context This was a routine RSU vesting and tax-withholding event rather than an open-market buy or sale. Withholding shares to cover taxes is a common administrative step and does not necessarily signal a change in insider sentiment.
