Context

• This was a compensation grant with routine tax withholding; the withheld shares represent a surrender to cover taxes rather than a market-sale decision by the CFO. Restricted-stock grants vest over time and are common executive compensation — they are not the same as open-market purchases or insider sales for cash.
