Context
- These entries reflect equity compensation (awards and performance shares) and routine tax withholding, not an open-market sale. Withholding to cover taxes is common and does not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment. The awards vest over time (at least part beginning March 7, 2026), so the shares are not immediately freely tradable.
