Context
Restricted stock awards are compensation, not market purchases — the grant itself is not a bullish market buy. The withheld shares are routine tax withholding upon vesting (not an open-market sale by the insider). No option exercises or open-market purchases/sales by Mr. Schoch are indicated in this filing.
