Context
These were employer-plan transactions (ESPP dividend reinvestment and dividend-equivalent rights on restricted stock units), which are typically routine compensation or reinvestment events and differ from open-market buys that might signal an active purchase decision. Footnotes indicate these transactions were processed under standard Rule 16b-3 exemptions for employee plans.
