Context

• The Feb 13 entries are grants (awards of RSUs and options), not exercises or open-market purchases. Vesting schedules mean these awards will convert to owned shares over the next four years if vesting conditions are met.
• The Feb 17 disposition was a standard tax-withholding transaction tied to prior RSU vesting, not an open-market sale for investment purposes. Such withholdings are routine and do not by themselves indicate CEO market timing or sentiment.
