- Disposition: 135.7 shares to issuer at $0.00 (forfeiture), total proceeds $0.

Context
- This was not a cash sale or market transaction but a forfeiture/cancellation of unvested RSUs tied to committee service—it does not represent proceeds or an active market sell. For retail investors, forfeitures due to end of service are administrative and generally not a clear signal of insider market sentiment.
