  • F2–F6: The 22,252 award includes unvested restricted stock and multiple tranches of performance stock. Performance shares vest only if specified TSR growth or share price targets are met; performance periods end on Sept 16, 2029, 2030, and 2031 depending on tranche.

Context
The 393-share disposition was a tax-withholding sale tied to vesting—common for executives receiving restricted stock—and is generally considered administrative rather than a market sentiment signal. The 22,252 shares are unvested/contingent equity awards (performance and restricted stock) and will only convert to Class A shares if specified performance or time-based vesting conditions are met.
