- F2/F3: These RSUs were issued as dividend equivalents on the holder’s unvested Incentive RSUs from Feb 17, 2022 and Feb 16, 2023; the dividend-equivalent RSUs vest concurrently with the underlying unvested Incentive RSUs.

Context
- This was an award/grant (compensation) rather than an open-market purchase or sale; such grants are routine forms of executive compensation and do not by themselves indicate a buying or selling signal. The awards are derivative RSUs that will convert to stock or cash upon settlement and vest according to the underlying incentive RSU schedules (per footnotes).
