Context
- These were compensation-related equity awards (performance shares and RSUs) that vested; the sale/“disposition” items reflect standard employer withholding to satisfy taxes, not an open-market sale by the insider.
- Such withholding is routine and does not necessarily indicate the insider’s buying or selling sentiment.
