- Converted/vested: 353 RSUs converted to shares (transaction code M).
- Tax withholding: 85 shares were withheld/disposed to cover taxes at $416.50/share for $35,403 (transaction code F).
- New award: 470 RSUs granted (transaction code A); these are RSUs (derivative) reported at $0 acquisition price.

Context
- This was primarily a vesting/compensation event (not an open‑market purchase). The conversion of RSUs into shares followed by withholding of a portion to cover tax is a routine cashless settlement method (common for RSU vesting). The director is not reported as a 10% owner; these transactions reflect director compensation rather than a market buy/sell signal.
