Context
- The 12,788 shares were performance-based awards that vested after the company’s compensation committee certified achievement of fiscal‑2025 targets at the maximum (200%) level. The small sale was routine tax-withholding related—common when awards vest—and does not necessarily indicate the insider’s view on the stock.
