Context

• This was a tax-withholding disposal (not a discretionary sale). Such transactions commonly occur when shares vest or options are exercised and the company withholds or sells shares to cover required taxes.
• Footnotes detail the reporting person’s equity awards: F1 describes 1,600 restricted shares with staggered vesting through 2030; F2–F6 describe option pools with portions currently exercisable and other tranches vesting between 2026–2030. These schedules explain why tax withholding may have been required now.
