Context
- These were compensation awards and routine tax-withholding actions, not market sales or purchases; share-withholding to satisfy taxes is common and does not necessarily indicate insider sentiment.
- The derivative award follows a monthly vesting schedule (1/48 starting 3/26/2026); RSUs have a later graded vesting schedule (first quarter vests 9/7/2026).
