Context
This was a settlement of long-term incentive RSUs tied to a multi-year performance period — a routine executive compensation event when performance conditions are met. Because shares were delivered net of tax withholding, fewer than the full RSU count may have been issued to the insider. This type of award reflects compensation realization rather than a direct market sentiment signal.
