Context

• These acquisitions are award/dividend-related (including ESPP reinvestment and RSU dividend equivalents), not open-market purchases — typically routine compensation or plan activity.
• For retail investors, purchases or awards can be informative, but these entries reflect company plan mechanics (dividend reinvestment and RSU accruals) rather than a direct market buy signal.
