Context
- The awards are grants/settlements (not open‑market purchases) and the apparent disposals are company withholding of shares to satisfy tax obligations — a routine administrative action rather than an open‑market sale.
- The derivative award (options) is subject to future vesting and does not represent immediate owned common shares until exercised.
