Context
This filing documents compensation-related grants (time- and performance-based equity) rather than open-market buying or selling. Such awards are routine components of executive pay and do not, by themselves, indicate a traded position or immediate market sentiment. PSUs are contingent on future performance metrics and continued employment, so the ultimate number of shares delivered could be higher or lower than the reported amounts.
