Context
- This was primarily an equity award/settlement (not an open-market purchase) and a routine tax-withholding sale to cover obligations on vested PSUs. Withholding of shares to satisfy taxes is common and should not be read as a typical investment sale. The PSUs were performance-based units settled in stock (per F1), while some awarded restricted shares remain subject to future service-based vesting (per F3).
