Context

• This is a standard equity compensation grant to an executive, not an open-market purchase or sale. The RSUs are unvested and subject to time- and performance-based vesting, so they do not represent immediately tradable shares. Such grants are common as part of executive pay and do not by themselves indicate insider buying or selling intent.
