Context

• This filing reflects compensation-related equity activity (new restricted shares and PRSU settlement) rather than an open‑market buy or sell by the insider. The 31,000‑share "disposition" represents shares withheld to pay taxes on vested awards (a common, administrative cashless tax withholding), not a voluntary sale to third parties.
• Such awards and withholdings are routine for executive compensation and do not, by themselves, indicate the insider’s view of the company’s stock.
