Context

• These transactions are compensation-related awards (RSUs/PSUs), not open-market purchases or sales. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is a routine, administrative disposition and not an independent sale signal.
• RSUs vest over time; PSUs vest based on performance metrics or on a future vest date, so some awarded units may not be freely tradable until their vest dates.
