Context
- This was not an open-market sale: the activity reflects vested performance shares converting to stock and routine withholding of a portion of those shares to cover taxes (F-code withholding), plus the grant of RSUs that vest over future years. Such withholding is standard and does not necessarily signal a decision to sell shares on the market.
