Context
- This was an equity award grant and routine tax-withholding, not an open-market sale or a purchase. Shares withheld to cover taxes are common when RSUs vest/settle and do not necessarily signal a decision to sell shares on-market. The RSUs vest over future dates (2028–2030), so most of the grant remains subject to time-based vesting.
