Context PSUs are performance-based compensation that convert to stock (and sometimes cash) when performance goals are met; this was a settlement of vested PSUs rather than an open-market purchase or discretionary sale. Share withholding to cover taxes is a routine administrative step and not the same as a voluntary sale for cash.
