Context
- The July 10 sale appears tied to tax-settlement mechanics for Tax Obligation Awards (i.e., awards converted/settled to cover tax liabilities rather than an open-market investment sale).
- RSU awards vest in 2029, so those are long-dated and not immediately tradable.
- This activity mixes routine award grants and a cash/derivative disposition for tax purposes; it should not be read alone as a bullish or bearish signal.
