- Shares owned after transaction: The filing excerpt does not state a single total for common shares held. It discloses 3,964 shares from the 2020 ESPP and unvested RSU balances totaling 130,945 (see footnote F3). Footnote F2 notes 30,000 RSUs granted Jan 16, 2022 have vested as of this Form 4.

Context
- The Feb 27 activity reflects RSU settlement and a routine sell-to-cover for taxes (not a separate market sale). The Mar 2 sale was a planned open-market sale under a 10b5-1 plan. These are common mechanisms insiders use to satisfy tax obligations or follow pre-set selling plans and are not by themselves a clear signal of a change in insider sentiment.
