Context The sale was an open‑market disposition (reported as code “S”) and the RSU grant (code “A”) is a time‑based award — these RSUs do not convert to stock until vesting conditions are met. Sales by executives can be routine (e.g., for diversification or liquidity); the filing itself is factual and does not indicate motivation.
