He was also granted 39,600 restricted share units (RSUs) and 63,900 derivative awards (stock option-type award), each reported at $0.00 (awards, not purchases).

Context
- The sale was a non-discretionary, automatic sale to cover taxes on vested RSUs (routine, labeled tax-withholding). That type of sale generally reflects vesting-related mechanics rather than a deliberate investment decision.
- The awards are equity compensation that vest over time; they are not immediate cash purchases and do not necessarily signal near‑term buying or selling intent.
