- PSUs (performance-based RSUs) vest only if stock-price targets and service conditions are met; PSUs can potentially vest at up to 200% of target (F1, F5).
- RSUs vest over time (some vest over two years, others over three years) subject to continued employment (F2, F3).
- The issuer purchased securities in a synthetic secondary transaction in connection with the IPO; some dispositions are to the issuer as part of that transaction (F4).

Context
- Awards (PSUs/RSUs) are not immediate cash purchases — they are contingent rights to receive shares if vesting and performance conditions are met; PSUs can pay out up to 200% of target.
- The derivative dispositions reflect sales of derivative securities (part of a synthetic secondary/issuer purchase) rather than open-market sales to third parties.
- These entries are factual disclosures of grants and issuer purchases; they do not state the insider’s motivation.
