Context
- These were sales and a tax-withholding disposition—not purchases. Sales by executives are common and can reflect personal liquidity or routine compensation tax obligations; they are not, by themselves, proof of company outlook. The tax-related disposition (F-code) indicates a cashless settlement to cover withholding on vested RSUs rather than a market-motivated sale.
