Context
Withholding shares to cover taxes on vested RSUs is a routine administrative action and does not necessarily indicate the insider is reducing their position by choice. This is different from a deliberate open‑market sale (which can signal personal liquidity or sentiment). For retail investors, such tax‑withholding dispositions should generally be interpreted as standard compensation settlement rather than active insider selling.
