Context
This was a routine vesting/settlement of RSUs, not an open-market purchase or sale. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is a common “sell-to-cover” mechanic and does not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment. The RSUs are subject to the grant’s vesting schedule and double-trigger acceleration as noted in the grant terms.
