Context
The award is compensation tied to a multi-year performance period rather than an open-market purchase. The delivery of shares to the company to satisfy withholding is a routine, cashless tax-withholding mechanism and should not be read the same as an open-market sale. This filing documents a grant and a tax-related disposition, not an opportunistic market sale or a cash purchase.
