What Happened

Context
- RSUs: The 15,229‑unit grant is a time‑based award that vests in 2028 if employment continues; it does not represent an immediate transfer of shares.
- Tax withholding is a common administrative step when RSUs vest; withheld shares are cancelled/surrendered to cover taxes rather than sold on the open market by choice. This is generally considered routine and does not necessarily reflect the insider’s sentiment about the company.
