- Tax withholding: 87 shares at $156.79 = $13,641 and 91 shares at $156.79 = $14,268 (automatic share-withholding to cover taxes; footnotes F1 & F2).

Context
- These transactions are mostly routine compensation events: grants/vests of RSUs and MSUs, conversion of those awards into shares, and company withholding of shares to satisfy tax obligations. The 715-share sale was automatic under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan rather than an ad-hoc decision to sell.
- For retail investors: purchases are generally more informative as bullish signals; this filing reflects vesting, tax withholding, and an automatic plan sale rather than an indicated directional vote by the insider.
