Context
This filing documents standard RSU vesting and routine tax withholding (reported under Form 4 codes M for conversion/exercise and F for tax withholding). Withholding or surrender of shares to cover taxes is common and should not be interpreted as an open-market sale signal. The original grant is partly performance-linked, so a final 10% portion depends on meeting the price condition by year-end 2027.
