Context

• This was an award of RSUs (compensation/dividend-equivalent adjustment), not an open-market purchase or sale. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is routine and does not necessarily indicate a change in sentiment.
• For retail investors, awards and tax-withholdings are common executive/ director compensation mechanics and differ from voluntary purchases or sales that may signal conviction.
