Context
This was a compensation-related award/acquisition (RSUs/PSUs/ordinary shares), not an open-market purchase or sale. RSUs are rights to receive shares upon future vesting (subject to continued service), while PSUs vest only if performance conditions are met—two PSUs did vest and were settled into shares on July 1, 2026. Such grants are standard executive compensation and do not necessarily signal the insider buying or selling stock in the market.
