Context These transactions reflect routine equity compensation activity: PSUs/RSUs vested or converted to common stock and the insider surrendered a portion of shares to Evergy to cover withholding taxes (a non–open-market transfer). The derivative/conversion entries indicate conversion of restricted units to shares (zero-dollar exercise), not new cash purchases or market sales. Such withholding actions are administrative and do not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment.
