Context
- The 78,429-share disposition was a tax-withholding event tied to RSU vesting (a common, non-market-driven disposition). The other two entries are open-market sales that provided liquidity. Sales and tax-withholdings do not necessarily indicate negative views by the insider; purchases are generally more informative about insider sentiment.
