Context
- Tax withholding on RSU vesting is a routine administrative transaction; the Form 4 marks it as a disposition because shares were retained by the company to cover taxes, but it is not an open-market sale that signals buying or selling intent.
- For retail investors, purchases are generally more informative than routine withholdings; this filing mainly documents the settlement and tax payment tied to equity compensation.
