Context

• The sale was small relative to the grants and was executed under a 10b5-1 plan (pre-set trading plan), which is typically a planned disposition rather than a discretionary, real-time sell signal. The grants are time-based equity compensation that vest over three years; no cash was reported as paid for the awards.
