Context

This was primarily a routine tax‑withholding event tied to RSU/award vesting, not an open‑market sale intended as a market signal. The derivative lines reflect conversion/exercise related to award vesting (cashless conversion/settlement). Routine withholding for taxes is common and usually not interpreted as insider buying or selling for investment reasons.
