Context
- This was not an open-market sale or purchase signal. The conversions are standard RSU vesting events and the share disposals are company-withheld shares to cover tax obligations (a cashless-type settlement).
- For retail investors: routine tax-withholding following vesting is common and should not be interpreted as a deliberate insider sale of shares to realize gains.
