Context
- This was not an open-market purchase or sale for cash. It reflects internal equity mechanics — settlement of vested RSUs into shares and receipt of additional RSUs that will vest later. Such transactions are common for directors and employees as part of compensation and do not, by themselves, indicate buying or selling for investment reasons.
