Context
This was a vesting of previously granted performance shares (compensation), not a market purchase or sale — such vesting is common executive compensation and does not by itself signal buying or selling intent. The reported exemptions (Rules 16b-3(d) and 16b-13) are standard for vested awards and scheduled trust distributions and mean the transactions are exempt from short-swing profit recovery under Section 16(b).
