Context
- This was not an open-market sale — the “disposals” were tax withholdings (code F), a routine administrative step when awards vest, not an indicator of a sale-based liquidity event.
- The primary signal is an award vesting (acquisition of shares via PSUs). PSUs are performance-contingent and increasingly common in executive compensation; remaining tranches are subject to future vesting conditions.
