- Grants: Two awards of 53,699 RSUs each (one time‑based RSU and one performance‑based PSU that vests 0–200% on March 15, 2029 based on relative TSR versus a peer group). Each RSU represents a contingent right to one share (or cash for the PSU).

Context
This was primarily an award/grant event (stock-based compensation) plus conversion of derivative units with shares withheld for taxes — a routine, compensation-related insider transaction. The performance award is cash‑settled and may pay 0–200% of target depending on relative total shareholder return at measurement; that makes its ultimate value contingent on future performance. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is common and not the same as an open‑market sale.
