BioAtla CFO Christian Vasquez Withheld 71 Shares for Taxes

What Happened

• Christian Vasquez, Chief Financial Officer of BioAtla, had 71 shares (disposed) withheld by the company to satisfy income tax and withholding obligations related to the vesting/net settlement of previously reported restricted stock units (RSUs). The per-share value reported was $1.69, for an aggregate value of approximately $120. This was a withholding for taxes—not an open-market sale.

Context

• This is a routine tax-withholding event tied to RSU vesting (a net settlement) rather than an indication of a deliberate sale or buy decision by the insider. Such withholdings are common and generally not interpreted as a market sentiment signal.
