Buy Plan / Sale Plan: These are also open market purchases/sales of shares, but in this case the transaction is part of a trading plan. Rule 10b5-1 allows insiders to setup a trading plan to buy/sell stocks over a certain period of time. Since the purchases/sales are predetermined, this protects the insiders from violating insider trading law.

Transaction was made pursuant to a contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of equity securities of the issuer that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c).

F1 Represents the vesting of Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") on March 3, 2025.
F2 Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Common Stock.
F3 The sales were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted on April 25, 2024. The transaction was a sell-to-cover, with shares only sold to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting and settlement of RSUs. The Reporting Person did not sell or otherwise dispose of shares reported on this Form 4 for any reason other than to cover required taxes and fees.
F4 On March 3, 2022 the Reporting Person was granted RSUs, which vest in three substantially equal annual installments beginning on March 3, 2023, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service to the Issuer through the applicable vesting dates. The RSUs vested in full on March 3, 2025.
