Context
- These RSUs are a compensation award (not an open‑market purchase) and vest over time, so they do not signal an immediate cash investment by the insider.
- The April 21 disposition is a routine tax‑withholding transaction (code F), not an open‑market sale; such withholdings are common when RSUs vest.
