Context
- This is primarily an award/vesting and tax-withholding event (not an open-market buy or sale). Converting RSUs and having shares withheld for taxes is a routine administrative action when equity awards vest; it does not necessarily signal a deliberate stock sale or purchase decision. The new RSU grants vest over future years (per footnotes), and related options noted in the filing become exercisable in installments beginning in 2027.
