Impact Evaluation

• Market Cap Context: With a market cap of $122.87 billion, a $2.6 million transaction is negligible noise.
• Transaction Context: The filing reports the vesting (acquisition) of 166,378 shares (RSUs) and the immediate sale of 80,762 shares. Footnotes confirm the sale was to cover tax withholding obligations and was conducted under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted in November 2025.
• Dilution: The vesting of RSUs has a microscopic dilution impact (<0.015% of outstanding shares).
