Context
- This appears to be a routine RSU vest/settlement with net share withholding to cover taxes (common practice), not an open‑market sale. The $0 exercise price entries reflect conversion/settlement of restricted stock units rather than purchase of options. Withholding of shares to satisfy tax liability is administrative and does not necessarily signal a purchase or a judgment about the company’s prospects.
