Context

• RSUs are compensation awards that convert to shares upon vesting; they are not open‑market purchases and do not by themselves signal a buy or sell decision.
• One award vests fully on a single date (Mar 31, 2027); the other vests on a multi‑year schedule (equal installments over three years), aligning retention incentives with future service.
• No immediate disposition or cashless exercise was reported—these are time‑based grants.
