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).

One-third of the shares vested on February 28, 2023, one-third of the shares vested on February 28, 2024, and the remaining one-third vested on February 28, 2025, subject to adjustment based on the Company's relative total shareholder return ("TSR") over the measurement period starting on January 1, 2022, through to December 31, 2024.
