Context

• These were award/acquisition transactions (not open-market purchases or sales). ESPP purchases and dividend-equivalent payments are routine compensation and benefit-related transfers rather than direct market-timing trades. Dividend-equivalent rights reflect cash dividend accruals on RSUs and are not new market purchases.
