Context This was not an open-market sale but a routine conversion/settlement of phantom unit awards with shares withheld to cover taxes (a cashless/withholding settlement). Such withholding is common after vesting and does not necessarily signal a change in insider sentiment. The underlying awards vested per the referenced vesting schedules; all actions were reported under Rule 16b-3 exemptions. Shares owned after the transaction are not specified in the provided excerpt.
