Context

• These dispositions are tax-withholding actions (code F), not open-market sales; they are routine administrative transactions tied to RSU vesting and do not necessarily indicate discretionary selling by the insider.
• The new RSUs are restricted and subject to future vesting; they are reported as awards/derivatives (code A) and will convert to common shares when vested.
