Context
- These were vesting/conversion events for RSUs (derivative exercises and an award), not open-market purchases or sales. The $0 prices and the tax-withholding entry indicate shares were issued/converted on vesting and some were withheld or disposed to cover taxes or as immediate dispositions. Such routine RSU vesting and withholding are common and do not by themselves indicate insider buying or selling intent in the open market.
