Context
These entries reflect vesting and settlement of equity compensation (PSUs and RSUs) and related tax-withholding, not open-market buying or fundamental company trades. The tax-withholding/share-withhold is effectively a cashless settlement to satisfy tax obligations and should not be read as a directional market bet. The filing appears timely (transactions reported on or shortly after the vesting dates).
