- Footnotes: F4 = vesting/settlement of restricted stock units; F5 = vesting/settlement of performance stock units; F1–F3 = shares withheld by issuer to satisfy tax withholding.
- No open-market sale reported — withholding is an internal share-for-tax arrangement, not a market sale.
Context
- This was a settlement of award units (not a market purchase or a voluntary sale). The $0.00 exercise price entries reflect RSU/PSU settlement rather than option exercise requiring cash.
- Share withholding to cover taxes is common and does not necessarily indicate buying/selling sentiment by the insider.
- The filing does not report total shares owned post-transaction beyond the net retained from this vesting; check company filings for up-to-date beneficial ownership if needed.
