Context
- These transactions represent award settlements (RSUs/PSUs) followed by share withholding/sale to cover taxes and settlement obligations — commonly called a "sell-to-cover" or issuer disposition rather than an open-market discretionary sale. PSUs were settled below target (84%), per the filing. There is no open-market purchase reported.
