Context

• Sell-to-cover transactions are routine tax-withholding actions tied to RSU vesting and do not necessarily indicate a discretionary decision to sell shares.
• Sales under a 10b5‑1 plan are prearranged and generally do not reflect the insider’s current view of the company; purchases (which more often indicate bullish conviction) were not part of this filing.
