Context
- This was not an open‑market purchase or sale motivated by liquidity; it was the routine vesting/settlement of RSUs. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is common and functions like a cashless settlement — it reduces the net shares delivered to the insider but does not indicate a market view. The separate grant of 2,383 RSUs is a forward‑looking equity award that vests in 2027 and does not represent immediate share ownership.
