Context
- This was not an open-market purchase or sale for cash but an RSU vesting/settlement event and related tax withholding (a common, routine corporate compensation action). The withholding of shares to satisfy taxes is a cashless/setoff settlement method and should not be read as a separate market sale expressing sentiment.
