Context

• RSUs are compensation awards that convert to shares upon vesting; the grant itself is not a market purchase and doesn't by itself signal buying interest.
• The 222.815-share disposition was a standard cashless withholding to cover taxes on vesting, not an open-market sale.
• This transaction involves an executive award and routine tax withholding; it does not indicate a personal investment decision like an open-market buy or sell.
