- Footnote: PSUs from fiscal 2023 vested at 142.4% of the target amount for the portion tied to relative TSR vs. the S&P 400 (opportunity had been up to 150%). This explains why the vested amount differed from the original target.

Context
- These transactions reflect vesting/settlement of performance stock units (PSUs) rather than an open‑market buy or sell; the 516-share disposition is a routine tax withholding (share surrender/cashless withholding), not necessarily a market sale indicating sentiment.
- For retail investors, awards and withholding are common when executives receive PSUs; purchases are more notable as a bullish signal, while vesting/withholding are typically administrative.
