Context

• This pattern — exercising vested options and immediately selling some or all resulting shares — is common (a cashless or partial cashless approach) to cover exercise costs, taxes, or diversify. The filing is factual and does not state a trading plan; it shows both option exercises (code M) and open‑market sales (code S).
