Context
- This was largely award settlement and new long-term compensation grants, not an open-market buy or discretionary sale. The 1,186-share disposition was a routine tax-withholding event (common when RSUs vest), not an active sell-for-investment decision.
- The new PSUs are performance-contingent (target amounts reported); actual payout will depend on future performance and continued service through the vesting period.
