TransAct (TACT) CTO Brent Richstmeier Receives Award, Exercises Options
What Happened

Context
- These entries reflect routine PSU vesting and a standard share-withholding to satisfy tax obligations — not an open-market sale for cash (other than the withholding). PSUs convert to shares on vesting; the small share disposition here is typical tax-related withholding and doesn’t necessarily signal a change in insider sentiment. Purchases or open-market buys tend to be more informative about insider bullishness.
