Context
- TSUs (time‑based RSUs) vest on an equal basis over three years, subject to continued employment; each TSU converts to one share upon vesting. PSUs vest based on performance and service and may pay up to 200% of one share per PSU if performance goals are met.
- The 17,956-share disposition is a tax-withholding action (common in equity settlements) — shares were retained by the company to cover withholding; this is not an open-market sale.
- These transactions reflect routine equity compensation settlement and new awards, not an independent cash purchase or sale signal.
