- Net new shares to insider: ~27,770 shares.
- Footnotes: F1 confirms RSUs convert 1:1 to common stock; F3 notes the RSUs were granted Jan 23, 2024 and vest 1/3 annually starting 2025; F2 corrects a one-share rounding error from 2025 vesting.

Context
- This was RSU vesting/settlement, not an open-market sale or purchase. The withholding is a standard tax-satisfaction action (often called a cashless or share-withhold settlement) and should not be read as a market sell decision. The filing shows conversion of the derivative award into shares and share withholding to cover taxes.
