- F2: Withholding of shares to satisfy tax withholding on vesting of previously issued RSUs.
- These were not open-market sales or purchases; they reflect forfeiture and routine tax withholding.
Context
- Forfeited PRSUs occur when performance targets aren’t met; this results in shares being returned to the company and no cash proceeds to the insider.
- Withholding shares to cover taxes is a common administrative step when RSUs vest and does not indicate a cash sale by the insider.
- No inference about the insider’s view of the company’s prospects should be drawn solely from forfeitures or routine tax withholdings.
