Context
These were RSU vesting events (awards granted in 2021–2023 per footnotes) followed by routine tax-withholding and prearranged Open Market sales under a 10b5-1 plan. Vesting and tax-withholding are typical administrative events; the open-market sales were pre-planned rather than ad hoc purchases or sales reflecting a new investment view.
