- Notable footnotes:
- F1/F4/F5: Several settlements reflect vested RSUs from prior grants (June 1, 2024 and June 1, 2025 grants) that vested in part on June 1, 2026.
- F2: Withheld shares were remitted to the issuer to satisfy tax obligations and do not represent open-market sales.

Context
- These transactions are primarily compensation-related (RSU vesting and a new RSU grant), not purchases or discretionary sales — they don’t necessarily signal the insider buying or selling for market reasons.
- The 16,186-share withholding (~$18.9k) is routine tax withholding on net-settled RSUs, not an open-market sale.
- For retail investors, compensation-related insider activity is common; purchases are typically more informative about bullish insider conviction than routine vesting and withholding.
