The company withheld 15,242 of those shares to cover federal/state tax withholding at an effective price of $16.29 per share (total withheld value reported as $248,292).

- This was a routine RSU vesting and company withholding to satisfy tax obligations (a cashless-withholding mechanism), not an open-market sale. Such withholdings are administrative and don’t necessarily signal bullish or bearish insider sentiment.
- For simplicity: “M” entries indicate conversion/exercise of a derivative (RSU settlement), and “F” indicates shares withheld/issued to cover taxes.
