Context
This filing mostly reflects the vesting/award of performance share units and RSUs, and a routine share withholding to cover taxes. The 781-share disposition is a tax withholding (not an open-market sale). Derivative/RSU awards shown at $0.00 are grants (no cash paid) but may be subject to vesting conditions or forfeiture. As always, awards and tax withholdings are common insider reporting items and do not, by themselves, indicate the insider’s market view.
