Context
These transactions reflect routine compensation events (RSU vesting and a new DSU award) rather than an open-market purchase or sale. The share forfeiture was a tax-withholding mechanism (common for equity settlements), not a sale indicating a change in conviction. Deferred stock units may be settled in cash or stock per company election.
