Context This is a compensation-related award (restricted stock and an option grant), not an open-market purchase or sale. The 237-share disposition relates to withholding to cover taxes, a routine administrative step that reduces net shares received. The option grant vests over three years starting March 18, 2027, so those derivative shares are not immediately exercisable or sold.
