Context

• The awards are grants (reported at $0.00) and at least part are performance-based and subject to vesting — these are compensation awards, not open-market buys.
• The disposals include tax withholding (shares surrendered to cover tax liabilities) and separate open-market sales; withholding and sales to cover taxes are common and often routine.
• This filing does not indicate insider intent or change in view of the company’s prospects — it documents compensation granted and routine disposals.
