Context
This filing reflects a standard equity award (RSUs) and routine tax withholding on prior vesting. The 27,897 RSUs are an acquisition/compensation event rather than an open-market purchase. Withheld shares used to cover taxes are routine and should not be interpreted as a cash sale indicating sentiment.
