Context
- These were awards/vestings (not open‑market purchases or sales). Awards are common executive compensation; the $0.00 per-share reporting reflects that shares were issued as compensation, not bought. The withholding reduced the number of shares delivered (a sell‑to‑cover or share surrender for taxes). This filing reports compensation vesting rather than a directional insider trade.
