Context

• This was an equity award grant with a tax-withholding sale, not an open-market buy or a voluntary sale. The disposal of 84 shares was executed to cover tax liability (a common administrative action) rather than a directional trade. Because the awarded units vest in the future, the shares are subject to vesting conditions and are not immediately free-trading.
