Context

These entries reflect derivative awards (RSUs/dividend equivalents) converting into common shares, not an open‑market purchase or sale for cash. The dispositions reported at $0.00 are commonly used to reflect shares surrendered or withheld (often to satisfy tax withholding) rather than market sales. As such, this filing documents award conversion and withholding activity rather than a typical buy/sell trade.
