Context

• Net settlement of RSUs is a common practice where a portion of vested shares is retained by the company to cover taxes; it does not indicate an active decision to sell shares on the market. Retail investors typically view such withholdings as administrative, not a directional insider trade. Purchases or open-market sales by insiders tend to be more informative about personal market views.
