Context

• The 103-share disposal was for tax/price payment (code F), not an open-market sale, so it’s a routine withholding rather than an indication of negative sentiment.
• The RSU and option grants are standard equity compensation that vest over four years; awarded value is not immediate cash and does not represent a purchase (not a bullish insider buy).
