Context
- These were vesting/conversion events of RSUs (awards), not open-market purchases or voluntary sales. Tax-withholding via share retention is routine when RSUs vest and does not imply a market-sale decision.
- Performance-based RSUs were certified by the compensation committee and paid above target (112%), yielding the 9,363-share performance payout noted in the filing.
