Context
- These transactions reflect routine executive compensation activity: previously vested RSUs were settled and shares were withheld to satisfy tax obligations (dispositions coded F), while a new RSU grant was reported (coded A) that vests in future installments. Withholding and vesting transactions do not necessarily signal buying or selling intentions in the open market; the award is a non‑cash grant that will convert to shares only as it vests.
