Context

• This was a restricted stock grant, not an open-market purchase or sale. The 36-share disposition was a routine tax-withholding event (cashless withholding) tied to shares that vested, not a market sale indicating sentiment. Such withholding is common when restricted shares vest and does not necessarily reflect a trading decision.
