- Tax withholding: 1,993 shares withheld for $66,128 and 1,788 shares withheld for $59,326 (share price shown $33.18). Total cash value ≈ $125,454. (Code F = tax withholding.)

Context
- Code legend: M = exercise or conversion of derivative (typically vesting of RSUs/phantom units); F = shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding; A = grant/award. These conversions are commonly routine vesting or settlement events rather than an insider selecting to sell shares on the open market.
- New RSU grants are forward-looking compensation subject to future vesting and/or performance conditions and do not represent immediate ownership of free-trading shares.
- Filing appears timely (filed within two business days of the Mar 20 transactions).
