- Relevant footnotes: These shares come from multiple RSU grants (grants dated Jan 28, 2022; Feb 1, 2023; Feb 2, 2024; Jan 31, 2025) that vest in five equal annual installments beginning on Feb 3 of their respective start years. Company may deliver cash or shares at its election on vesting.

Context
- This was not an open-market buy or sale by the insider but routine RSU vesting with shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding — a common practice that does not necessarily signal the insider’s buy/sell sentiment. For retail investors, purchases are generally more informative as bullish signals; this filing documents compensation vesting and tax withholding rather than an intentional sale.
