Context
- These were RSU vesting and conversion transactions rather than open-market buys or sales — no shares were sold for cash here. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is routine and does not indicate a market sale. Gifts of shares typically reflect estate or trust planning and should not be read as a direct signal of insider sentiment.
