Context

• This report documents an open-market sale, not an option exercise or award receipt. Sales by directors can be routine (liquidity, diversification, taxes) and should be interpreted cautiously; they are factual disclosures rather than proof of company outlook. The footnotes indicate the director has awards (RSUs and options) with standard vesting schedules that may result in future share issuances.
