Context

  • These were routine sell transactions to cover tax withholding on vested RSUs and were executed under a pre‑arranged 10b5‑1 plan. Such sales are typically administrative and do not necessarily signal a change in the insider’s view of the company. Purchases tend to be more informative about insider conviction.
