Context
The issuance reflects the vesting/payment of performance share awards rather than a cash purchase by the insider. The disposals reported (code F) are routine share‑withholdings by the company to satisfy tax obligations and should not be interpreted as open‑market selling by the CEO. Performance share vesting is a common form of long‑term compensation and results in an ownership increase net of withholding.
