Context
RSU grants are compensation, not open-market purchases, and represent an acquisition only when granted; vesting (and any subsequent sales) occurs later per the schedule. The 172-share disposition here is an administrative tax-withholding action (common on vesting) and does not reflect an open-market sale by the insider.
