Context
- These transactions are primarily the result of equity awards vesting (PRSUs) and the routine surrender/forfeiture of shares to cover required tax withholdings — common for executive compensation. One open-market sale (7,990 shares) generated cash proceeds (~$395K); the remaining disposals were tax-related forfeitures, not necessarily indicative of a trade decision about company prospects. PRSUs that vested were tied to performance criteria and continued employment per the footnotes.
