Context
- RSUs are contingent rights to receive shares upon vesting (not open‑market purchases) and are common for executive compensation. The March 9, 2026 and multi‑year vesting schedules mean most shares remain subject to future service conditions.
- The withheld shares are a routine tax withholding (similar to a cashless settlement) and do not necessarily indicate the insider's view on the stock.
