• Footnotes: Two RSU footnotes note these are restricted stock units (each RSU converts to one share or cash equivalent). One grant vests in four annual installments beginning 3/1/2025; the new 754-RSU grant vests in four annual installments beginning 3/2/2027.

Context

• The March 1 activity reflects an option exercise (a purchase/acquisition of shares by paying the exercise price). The subsequent 71-share disposal reported at $0 is most often withholding to cover taxes from the exercise or vesting event rather than a market sale. The March 2 entry is an RSU award that vests over time and does not represent an immediate market purchase or sale.
