Context
Performance-based RSUs are contingent awards tied to company performance metrics and service; they are not open-market buys or sales and do not necessarily indicate immediate insider buying or selling. One of the earlier grants (2023) was certified and settled into shares, while the 2024 and 2025 awards remain subject to service-based vesting before settlement.
