Context These sales were made to cover tax withholding on settled restricted stock units (each RSU equals a contingent right to one share) and were executed under a pre-established 10b5‑1 plan. Such “sell to cover” transactions are common when RSUs vest and do not necessarily indicate a change in the insider’s view of the company.
