Context
- The 12,126‑share disposition is reported as a tax withholding action (routine), not an open‑market sale for investment reasons. One award is a PRSU (performance‑based) that vests only if performance and continued‑employment conditions are met (half tied to Adjusted EBITDA targets for 2026–2027 with continued employment through 12/31/2028; half tied to relative total shareholder return vs. a Russell 2000 oil index measured through 12/31/2028).
