Context
- These entries reflect RSU vesting and company share-withholding for taxes (a common, routine administrative step), not an open-market sale or purchase by the insider. Acquisitions at $0.00 indicate receipt of vested awards rather than a cash purchase. Withholding to cover taxes should not be interpreted as a directional investment signal.
