What Happened

Context
Share withholding to cover taxes on vested restricted stock units is a routine administrative action and should not be interpreted as a directional bet on the stock by the insider. Purchases or open-market sales are generally more informative about insider sentiment; this filing reflects compensation taxation mechanics rather than a voluntary sale.
