Context
- These transactions are compensation-related awards, not open‑market purchases or sales. Such awards are routine for executives and do not by themselves indicate a buy/sell sentiment.
- The derivative items (PRSUs) only convert to actual shares if/when vesting and performance conditions are met; the final number could be above or below target.
- The surrendered shares were used solely for tax withholding; no cash proceeds were reported.

- [F5]These performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") are scheduled to vest on January 25, 2029. The target number of PRSUs is reported on this form. Between 0% and 200% of the target number of PRSUs may vest and the number of shares of the Issuer's common stock ("Common Stock") to be issued will be determined based on the total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Common Stock relative to the respective TSRs of the stocks of a peer group of companies, each measured over a 3-year period from the grant date. If the Reporting Person's employment is terminated under certain circumstances or a change of control occurs prior to the 3rd anniversary of the grant date, all or a portion of the PRSUs will vest and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued will be determined at such time based on the respective TSRs of the Common Stock and the stocks of the peer group, each measured from the grant date to the accelerated vesting date.
