CFO withheld 14,012 shares for taxes; retains 160,704 shares.

The Form 4 shows a tax-withholding disposition tied to the vesting of restricted stock units, not an open-market sale. That distinction matters because the shares were surrendered to cover tax obligations rather than representing a decision to liquidate equity holdings.

The remaining direct beneficial ownership of 160,704 shares is disclosed explicitly; the filing does not show any options, warrants, or additional derivative positions.
