Context The 9/11 disposition appears to be related to covering tax withholding or exercise-related obligations on equity awards (PRSU-related), while the 9/14 transaction was an open-market sale. Sales to satisfy tax withholding or option-exercise obligations are common and do not necessarily signal a change in personal view on the stock.
