Context

• This was a compensatory RSU vesting and a routine cashless tax-withholding; it is not an open-market buy or discretionary sale by the insider. The filing shows conversion of RSUs into shares and withholding of a small number of shares to satisfy tax obligations. Such payouts are common executive/director compensation events and do not by themselves indicate a change in insider sentiment.
