Context
This was a compensation-related award (not an open-market purchase or sale). The withholding of shares to cover taxes is a routine, cashless method employers use and does not necessarily signal a change in insider sentiment. Because Gregory Bentley is reported as a 10% owner, this filing reflects his ownership-class insider activity rather than a typical executive buy/sell trade.
