Context

• This was an equity award and a routine tax-withholding disposition, not an open-market purchase or sale intended to express a view on the stock. RSU grants are common compensation for executives and directors; withholding shares to cover taxes is a standard administrative action and does not necessarily indicate sentiment about the company’s outlook.
