Context

• These were tax-withholding share dispositions (code F), a common administrative action when restricted stock vests; they do not necessarily indicate insider sentiment about the company.
• This is not an open-market sale initiated for investment reasons nor an option exercise for new shares — it reflects withholding to cover tax obligations associated with restricted awards.
