Context

• This was primarily a routine vesting of equity, not a market purchase; the subsequent sale was a tax-withholding/cashless disposition rather than an open-market sale for investment reasons.
• Awards and tax-withholding sales are common and don’t necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment; purchases typically carry more informational weight for bullish signals.
