Context

These transactions are largely award/grant activity (not open-market purchases). The share withholding to cover taxes is routine and common when PSUs/RSUs vest or are settled; it is not the same as an open-market sale signaling a change in sentiment.
PSUs noted in the filing are performance-based and were settled in shares after performance criteria were met (per F1). Restricted stock (RSUs) in the filing may still be subject to future service-based vesting (per F3).
