Context
These were routine tax-withholding dispositions (code F) tied to vesting of restricted and performance awards — not open‑market discretionary sales. Such sell‑to‑cover transactions are common and reflect tax obligations rather than a directional bet on the stock. The performance RSUs referenced will settle only after the applicable performance periods end and are subject to committee certification.
