What Happened

Context
- This was a performance-share award tied to multi-year goals (2023–2025); the payout was certified by the Compensation Committee on the transaction date.
- Withholding shares to cover taxes is routine for awarded equity and is different from an open-market sale; it doesn't indicate a voluntary disposition by the insider beyond tax obligations.
- Awards are compensation events; they provide less direct insight into insider sentiment than open-market purchases but are material to dilution and insider ownership changes.
