Context

• This was an equity compensation grant (RSUs), not an open-market purchase or sale of company stock. The 161-share disposition was tax withholding (routine for RSU vesting), not a market sale intended to liquidate holdings. The larger 5,780-item entry represents unvested/derivative RSUs subject to future vesting in equal installments over three years.
