Context

  • These filings combine new equity awards (RSUs) and an option exercise. The withholding of 224 shares to satisfy tax obligations is a routine, non‑market sale related to compensation (not an open‑market sell).
  • Vesting schedules mean most newly granted RSUs are subject to multi-year service conditions (33%/33%/34%), so they do not represent immediate free shares to sell.
