Context

  • These entries reflect compensation vesting (awards) and routine tax withholding—not an open‑market buy or discretionary sale signal. The large RSU grant is a multi-year restricted award that vests starting in 2027; the PSU vesting reflects partial achievement of performance goals set by the compensation committee.
