Context
- This was a routine vesting/conversion of RSUs with a standard tax-withholding share retention (a form of "cashless" settlement for taxes), not an open-market sale. That means the withheld shares were surrendered to the company to cover taxes rather than sold into the market, and it should not be interpreted as a directional sell decision.
