Context
Tax-withholding forfeitures are a routine administrative step when RSUs vest — the company retains (or cancels) shares to cover withholding rather than the insider selling shares on the market. Such transactions generally do not signal a change in insider conviction about the stock; purchases and open-market sales are typically more informative about intent.
