Context

  • PRSUs are a form of restricted stock granted contingent on performance; when they vest, companies commonly withhold a portion of shares to cover required taxes (a cashless/withholding arrangement). This filing reflects routine compensation vesting and tax withholding, not an open-market sale or a new purchase.
