Context

• These transactions are compensation-related awards (not an open-market purchase or discretionary sale). The withholding of shares to satisfy taxes is routine and should not be read as an independent bearish signal. The performance-share component (F2) reflects the payout based on a performance determination for the 2023–2025 period.
