Context
These entries are awards/grants (transaction code A) — common in executive compensation — and do not represent an open-market buy or sale. Options and RSUs are derivative grants that vest over time or upon achieving performance goals; until vesting/conversion they are not tradable common shares. The filing does not indicate immediate sales or tax-withholding share forfeitures.
