Context
- The 7,522 shares came from PSU vesting (performance-based compensation), not an open-market purchase. The 1,990-share disposition was a withholding to cover taxes (a routine, non-market sale).
- The 13,370 RSUs are unvested and will vest in three annual installments per the footnote schedule (4,456 on 2/10/2027; 4,457 on 2/10/2028; 4,457 on 2/10/2029).
- Equity awards and tax-withholdings are typical executive compensation events and do not necessarily signal the insider’s view on the company’s stock price.
