Context
- These were compensation awards and a tax‑withholding surrender, not open‑market purchases or sales — awards are routine executive compensation and do not by themselves indicate the insider is buying or selling shares as a market view.
- The PRSUs are performance‑based and may pay out more or fewer shares (0–200% of target) depending on relative total shareholder return measured over three years.
