Context
- These were not open-market purchases or sales of common stock. The 6,000-unit transaction was a cash settlement of vested phantom units (no shares issued or sold). The withheld 2,362 shares reflect net share settlement to cover tax obligations on vested restricted stock rather than a market sale by the insider.
- Grants/awards (the 27,000 phantom units) are awards, not immediate purchases; vesting schedules and cash/stock settlement terms determine future economic impact.
