- Net shares received: 427,516 − 205,913 = 221,603 shares.

Context
- This was a vesting of performance-based equity (PSUs), not an open-market purchase or voluntary sale. The reported disposition is a tax withholding mechanism common on equity vesting and does not necessarily indicate a market sale by the insider.
- For retail investors, purchases signal direct insider accumulation; vesting events with tax withholding are routine compensation mechanics and should be interpreted differently than open-market insider buys or deliberate sales.
