Context
- These were RSU grants (awards) and routine disposals: some shares were surrendered to satisfy tax withholding upon vesting, and others were sold automatically under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan. Awards and tax-withholding disposals are standard executive compensation mechanics and do not, by themselves, indicate a buy or sell signal.
