Context

• The 365-share disposal was a tax-withholding action (routine), not an open-market sale. The 1,756-share entry is an equity award to a non-management director, not a cash purchase — such awards are standard compensation and become non-forfeitable in the future per the plan. These items reflect compensation mechanics rather than an explicit buy/sell signal by the director.
