Context

• This was a compensation award (PSU settlement), not a buy or sell — common for executives when performance goals are met. PSUs are long-term incentive awards that convert to shares when specified performance targets are achieved; the $0 acquisition price reflects that these shares were earned rather than purchased with cash.
• Such awards are routine and reflect company compensation outcomes rather than an insider’s directional market bet.
