F5 confirms the 4,215 vested shares represent 25% of a prior 16,860 RSU grant (June 17, 2025).

Context
- These were RSU grants and vesting/settlement events (not open‑market buys or discretionary sales). RSUs carry no exercise price and commonly settle into shares with part withheld to cover taxes — a routine administrative step rather than an active market sale.
- The filing also notes performance‑based RSUs granted on Feb 19, 2026 that are subject to additional conditions and were excluded from this report.
