Context

• This was an award tied to vested RSUs (dividend equivalents), not an open-market purchase or sale, so it is a routine compensation-related issuance rather than a direct bullish/bearish trade signal. Dividend-equivalent issuances are common for vested equity awards and typically reflect compensation mechanics rather than insider trading intent.
