Context
A net (cashless) exercise means the company facilitated conversion of options into shares and withheld some shares to cover taxes rather than the insider selling shares on the open market. Such exercises are common for vested option holders and are administrative/routine transactions rather than direct market purchases or sales that signal sentiment.
