Context

• The 32,000-share award is restricted stock (not immediately tradable) and vests over three years; the withheld shares were retained/removed to cover tax liabilities from earlier vesting events, a routine administrative disposition rather than a discretionary open-market sale.
• No indication in this filing of a 10b5-1 plan or gifts; transactions are compensation-related and tax-withholding.
