Context

• Sales executed under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan are typically automated and can be routine (the filing does not indicate intent or investment outlook).
• The 265,001-share award increases potential future ownership but is subject to a multi-year vesting schedule—vested shares would be needed before they are freely transferable.
• This filing is informational for retail investors tracking insider activity; it reports both disposals (sales) and an equity grant, without commentary on strategy or motive.
