Context
The 8,440 shares were issued on settlement of performance-based awards for the period ending 12/31/2025; the withholding is a routine tax payment and is recorded as a disposition but is not an open-market sale. The newly granted RSRs are contingent, time‑vesting awards under the company’s 2022 LTISP and may convert to stock or cash later. Such compensation-related filings are common and reflect payroll/compensation processes rather than an explicit buy/sell signal by the insider.
