• Reported lot prices (weighted averages): $402.55 — $421.33; trade price ranges across lots reported in footnotes from $402.00 up to $421.33.

• Footnotes note multiple trades per reported lot (weighted average prices) and that some shares relate to RSU vesting (F2); the reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of certain shares except to the extent of pecuniary interest (F18).

Context

• These sales were tax-withholding transactions associated with vested RSUs — a routine administrative action that does not necessarily signal a change in the insider's view of the company's prospects.
• For retail investors, purchases typically carry more informational weight about insider sentiment than routine withholding sales.
