Context
These were vesting performance awards (PSUs), not open-market purchases or voluntary sales. The "disposed" line here reflects issuer withholding shares to cover tax liabilities (a routine administrative step), not an open-market sale that would signal an insider cashing out. Performance-based PSUs convert to shares only if goals are met, which is why they were not previously reportable.
