Context
The restricted stock award vests over time: 25% on March 15, 2027, with the remaining 75% vesting pro rata over the twelve full calendar quarters following that date, contingent on continued employment. Withholding shares to cover taxes is routine for equity compensation and does not indicate an open‑market sale of other holdings.
