Context

This filing reflects routine compensation-related vesting and tax withholding (award/vesting and cashless tax withholding), not an open-market buy or sale intended to express a market view. Code meanings: A = award/grant/acquisition on vesting; F = shares withheld/used to pay taxes. The Form 4 was filed within the required reporting window.
