Context
- This was not an open-market sale or purchase: Auld’s transactions reflect RSU vesting and a bonus award, with shares withheld/surrendered to the issuer to meet tax withholding obligations (a routine, non-market cashless settlement). Such withholdings are common and do not by themselves indicate a buy or sell decision in the market.
