Context
- These entries are derivative/RSU activity: RSUs vested and converted to shares, and some shares were withheld or sold to satisfy tax obligations (a form of cashless/net settlement). Such tax-withholding sales are routine and do not necessarily indicate a change in the insider’s view of the company.
