Context
- RSUs are conditional awards that convert to shares upon vesting; the reported grants do not require an outlay by the executive and are recorded at $0 in the filing. Two of the RSU grants are performance‑based and only vest if specified ROIC or TSR goals are met.
- The 14,926‑share disposition was a tax‑withholding action (common when RSUs vest) rather than a discretionary open‑market sale, so it’s primarily a routine administrative step to satisfy tax obligations.
