Context

• This was not an open‑market sale — the “sales” here were share withholdings to cover tax obligations following vesting (common for vested equity compensation).
• Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (PSUs converting to stock); F = shares withheld/used to pay tax liability.
• These actions reflect routine tax withholding on vested awards rather than a decision to sell shares on the open market.
