Context
- This was not an open‑market sale or purchase; these entries reflect RSU conversions/vestings and routine tax withholding (a common, administrative action when awards settle). The derivative "exercise/conversion" entries show settlement of equity awards rather than option purchases with cash outlay. No inference about insider sentiment should be drawn from tax-withholding disposals.
