Context
- This filing reflects routine equity awards and automatic tax withholding, not a discretionary open-market sale. The withholding (code F) is common when shares vest and does not necessarily signal a CEO sell decision. The RSUs and remaining performance shares continue to vest over time per the company's incentive plan.
