Context

• Purchases by executives can signal confidence but are not proof of future performance. The filing is straightforward: an open‑market buy (not an award, exercise, gift, or 10b5‑1 sale). The additional footnotes describe outstanding RSUs, PSUs and performance‑conditioned options that relate to future compensation/vesting, not this specific open‑market purchase.
