  • Footnotes of note:
    • F1: Shares were withheld by the issuer to satisfy income tax withholding on RSU vesting.
    • F2–F5: Awards/options are subject to multi-year vesting schedules (vesting begins on various dates in 2025–2027 and may vest quarterly or annually as specified).

Context and plain-language takeaways:

  • These filings show a mix of awards (acquisitions of RSU/derivative interests) and option exercises. The large entry on Jan 22 is an award/grant (acquisition) but the awards vest over future dates—so they are not immediately liquid shares.
  • The exercised option shares had portions withheld to cover tax obligations (a common, non-market sale administrative action), not open-market stock sales. That withholding is recorded as a disposal (F) for tax purposes.
  • For retail investors: awards/RSUs indicate compensation and potential future share issuance subject to vesting; the withheld shares for taxes are routine and do not necessarily indicate a decision to sell stock for investment reasons.
