Context
This filing reflects a performance-based equity award vesting and a routine tax-withholding disposition—not an open-market purchase or sale indicating directional trading. For executives, withholding shares to cover taxes is common when PSUs/RSUs vest; it does not by itself indicate a change in the insider’s view of the company.
