Context
This was a settlement of performance-based awards, not an open-market sale or purchase. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is routine and does not necessarily indicate insider sentiment. For retail investors, award settlements increase insider holdings in a non-cash way, while withheld shares simply satisfy tax obligations.
