Context
- These entries reflect RSU vesting/conversion and routine statutory tax withholding (shares held back rather than an open-market sale). This is not an open-market purchase or sale that signals added market exposure by the insider; it’s standard compensation tax withholding tied to vesting. The zero exercise price and footnotes identify the awards as restricted stock units (RSUs), which convert one-for-one into common shares.
