Context

• This was an equity award payout (performance share units) with standard tax-withholding via share retention — a routine compensation event rather than an open-market purchase or sale intended as a market signal. Performance awards are common for executives; purchases (P) are generally considered more informative about insider sentiment than grants or tax withholding.
