Context

• The 365-share disposition is a tax-withholding event (routine) rather than an open-market sale, and does not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment. The 1,756-share award is compensation (retainer) for board service; acquisition price reported as $0.00 and the shares remain subject to forfeiture until they vest/become non-forfeitable per the plan.
