Context
These were derivative/forward transactions, not open-market trades of common stock. The filing indicates a cash settlement of an earlier position and the simultaneous establishment/acquisition of a forward purchase obligation to buy 200,000 shares in 2029 at $15.22/share (subject to interest/dividend adjustments). Such cash-settled derivative activity is typically a monetization of a prior position and the rollover into a longer-dated forward rather than a straightforward buy or sell of common stock.
