Context These transactions combine a standard executive equity grant (RSUs that vest over time) with routine sell‑to‑cover sales to satisfy tax withholding obligations. Sell‑to‑cover transactions are common and generally reflect tax logistics rather than a personal decision to divest. There was no open‑market purchase or options exercise reported in this filing.
