Context

  • These are award and tax-withholding transactions: the RSU grants are a compensation award (not a cash purchase) and the disposed shares were surrendered/withheld to satisfy tax obligations—common routine actions that do not necessarily indicate buying or selling sentiment. The RSUs vest over future dates, so the acquired units are not immediately liquid shares.
