Context
- The filing shows an option exercise and a same-day sale of some shares. On Form 4s this pattern can reflect exercising options and selling a portion of the resulting shares; the form does not state the reason (e.g., tax withholding, cashless exercise, or diversification). The separate derivative "disposed" line at $0 typically records cancellation/settlement of the option instrument upon exercise. The award on 2026-03-01 appears as a derivative grant with vesting terms noted in the footnotes.
