Context
- These transactions reflect PRSU vesting and settlement (awards) and tax-withholding; they are not open-market sales or purchases. Dispositions to the issuer reflect forfeited units due to performance outcomes rather than a manager-initiated sale.
- For retail investors: awards/vests show how long-term compensation is settling but do not directly signal the insider buying or selling stock in the market. Tax-withholding via share surrender is a routine administrative step.
