Context

• The 19,255-share disposal was a tax-withholding/net settlement of vested RSUs (not a cash purchase or speculative sale). The 11,332-share sale followed a pre-established 10b5-1 plan, which is a routine mechanism insiders use to sell shares according to predetermined rules. These actions are typically administrative/routine rather than a direct statement of insider sentiment; review the full Form 4 for complete holdings and timing details.
