Context
- This appears to be routine equity compensation activity: vesting/conversion of restricted share units, tax-withholding via surrender/withholding of shares (not an open-market sale), and new RSU/PSU grants. The 672-share disposition was to satisfy tax obligations rather than a discretionary cash sale. The PSUs are performance-contingent and may pay out above or below target depending on results through 2028.
