Context
This was a vesting of performance-based shares for the 2023–2025 period, not an open-market bullish purchase. The disposal represents shares withheld to satisfy tax obligations (a routine "sell-to-cover" type action), not necessarily a personal decision to liquidate holdings for other reasons.
