Context
These transactions are vesting/release of both performance-based RSUs (the Feb 6 award, performance certified in Feb 2026) and time-based RSUs (the Feb 8 award). The RSUs vest in annual installments over four years; these entries represent the 2026 installment. Withholding of shares to pay taxes is a routine administrative step (often called a cashless or net settlement) and does not necessarily indicate buying or selling intent beyond satisfying tax obligations.
