Context

This is not an open-market sale or purchase signal; it’s routine RSU vesting with a cashless-type tax withholding (company shares surrendered to cover taxes).
No indication of a trading plan (10b5‑1) or gifting; the action reflects standard payroll/tax mechanics tied to equity compensation.
