• Award: 221 RSUs granted @ $0.00 (code A).
• Tax withholding: 30 shares withheld/disposed @ $99.70 = $2,991 (code F); issuer paid withholding tax in cash to the tax authority per the filing.

Context

• This filing reflects an equity award true‑up (not an open‑market purchase or sale). The 30 shares were withheld to cover taxes upon settlement/vesting rather than sold in the open market.
• Awards and withholding transactions are routine methods companies use to compensate executives and satisfy tax obligations; they do not, by themselves, indicate insider buying or selling sentiment.
