Context
- These transactions are vesting and grant events (awards), not open-market purchases or voluntary sales. The withholding of 6,831 shares to cover taxes is a common administrative step following RSU vesting and should not be read as an open-market sale signal. The newly granted 17,089 RSUs remain subject to time-based vesting through 2029.
