Context
This was an equity award (RSUs) and a routine tax‑withholding disposition, not an open‑market sale. Time‑vested RSUs typically pay out over multiple years (here, three annual installments), so these grants are part of long‑term compensation rather than an immediate purchase or directional bet. Using shares to cover taxes is common and does not necessarily indicate insider selling for cash.
