Context
RSU grants (awards) are compensation and do not indicate a cash purchase. The subsequent share disposals were tax-withholding actions (common when RSUs vest) rather than open-market sales to take profits; such withholdings are routine and primarily administrative. For retail investors, purchases are usually more informative about insider conviction than routine withholdings tied to compensation.
