Context
This filing mainly reflects the grant/settlement of equity awards (including PSUs) and routine tax-withholding rather than an open-market sale. The 312-share disposition was a withholding to cover taxes on award settlement (a common administrative action) and not necessarily an indication of the insider selling shares for investment reasons.
