  • Shares owned after the transactions are not specified in the excerpt of this filing.

Context

  • These transactions are routine MSU vesting and tax-withholding sales (cashless withholding) rather than open-market discretionary sales. MSUs are performance-based restricted units; the filing shows conversion of vested MSUs into shares and sale of a portion to cover taxes. This is informational for shareholders but does not itself indicate the CFO’s directional view of the stock.
