Context
- These were mainly vesting/conversion events and a subsequent open‑market sale under a pre‑arranged 10b5‑1 plan. The tax withholding indicates a cashless settlement of vesting RSUs (shares used to cover tax obligations). Sales executed under 10b5‑1 plans are typically pre‑scheduled; they do not necessarily indicate a change in the insider’s view of the company.
