Context

• This filing mainly reflects company compensation events: exercising/options conversion and new equity awards (time‑based derivatives). The withholding of 134 shares was to cover tax obligations (common practice) rather than an open‑market sale for investment reasons. The grants and options carry vesting schedules (see footnotes), so most of the awarded shares are subject to future vesting and are not immediately tradable.
