Context

When insiders exercise options or receive vested awards, companies often withhold some shares to cover taxes. These withheld-share transactions are administrative and common, and they do not carry the same market-signaling weight as voluntary open-market purchases or sales. For retail investors, purchases by insiders may be more informative of confidence than routine tax-withholdings.
