Context

  • This was primarily a vesting/settlement event (PSUs/RSUs) rather than a buy or a discretionary sale. Conversions/exercises recorded at $0 indicate settlement of equity awards, not a cash purchase. The surrender of shares to pay taxes is routine for vested awards and does not necessarily indicate a view on the company’s stock price.
