Context
- This was a vesting/conversion of RSUs, not an open-market purchase or sale. Reporting shows a cashless-like settlement where the company withheld shares to satisfy tax obligations rather than the insider selling shares on the market.
- Such tax-withholding transactions are routine and generally do not signal an insider's view on the stock; they reflect compensation vesting and tax obligations.
