Context
- These transactions reflect routine RSU vesting and employer tax withholding, not an open-market sale or purchase. For derivative/RSU activity, the common pattern is shares are issued on vesting and some withheld to cover taxes (a cashless settlement). This is informational about compensation vesting rather than a directional trade by the insider.
