Context

• RSUs are not an immediate open-market purchase; they represent a future right to receive shares if vesting conditions are met. The 23,364 RSUs will convert to shares over the next three years per the vesting schedule.
• The 5,339-share disposition reflects tax withholding (common on vesting) rather than a voluntary sale for investment reasons; such withholdings are a routine administrative step and don’t necessarily indicate insider sentiment.
