Context
- This sequence reflects an option exercise followed by immediate or near-immediate open-market sales (a cashless exercise / sell-to-cover pattern). Some sales were executed under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan and some were automatic sell-to-cover actions to satisfy tax withholding on RSU vesting — both are routine mechanisms for insiders to meet tax obligations or diversify, and do not alone indicate management sentiment.
