Context
- This was a vesting/settlement of compensation awards (PRSUs and RSU tax withholding), not a discretionary cash sale or open‑market trade—share withholding to cover taxes is routine in equity compensation settlements.
- The PRSUs were performance‑based, meaning the number vested was contingent on company performance metrics for 2023–2025 (per footnote). The filing shows no indication of a 10b5‑1 sale plan or other trading program.
