- Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in the provided filing excerpt
- Footnotes: F1 — shares issued at the discretion of the compensation committee after completion of the 3-year performance period for the 2023 Ventures Incentive Plan (Jan 1, 2023–Dec 31, 2025). F2 — shares are held by Charlouise Ltd., an entity controlled by the reporting person.

Context
- These transactions reflect compensation-related awards that vested after a performance period and routine share withholding to satisfy tax obligations. Withholding (F) entries are common and should not be read as open-market selling by the insider. Awards granted by the company are compensation, not direct purchases; such grants are informative about pay but not necessarily a bullish insider buy signal.
