Context
Withholding shares to cover taxes on vested RSUs is a routine administrative transaction (a cashless-like settlement) and is recorded as a disposition. It does not necessarily indicate the insider is selling shares for investment reasons. Purchases by insiders generally provide stronger signals about their view of the company; tax withholding events are common following awards vesting.
