Context

  • This was not an open-market sale for investment purposes but routine tax-withholding and settlement activity tied to RSU vesting (including cash-settled RSUs). For retail investors, routine surrender/withholding to cover taxes is common and does not necessarily signal the insider’s buying or selling intent in the market.
