The shares were valued at $19.26 each, totaling approximately $127,713, and the transaction occurred on September 1, 2026.

Context
Tax-withholding dispositions on RSU vesting are common and procedural: a portion of vested shares is retained or sold to cover tax liabilities (a form of “cashless” settlement), and do not necessarily reflect the insider’s view of the company. Purchases or large open-market sales can carry more interpretive weight for investor sentiment.
