Context
- This filing reflects a standard equity award plus tax-withholding related to RSU vesting. The withheld shares are a routine mechanism to cover taxes and should not be read as a voluntary open-market sale.
- The RSU grant will vest over time (quarterly), so future filings will show additional vesting events and any related withholding or disposals.
