Context
- This was not an open-market sale or purchase; the 599-share disposal is a routine tax-withholding action related to the settlement of PSUs, not a market-directed sale.
- PSUs are compensation tied to prior performance metrics; their issuance/settlement typically reflects company compensation rules rather than a direct insider view on the stock.
