Context

This was primarily an award vesting and derivative conversion event, not an open-market sale. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is a routine administrative step and does not represent a market sale by the insider.
For retail investors, purchases or acquisitions (including vesting) show equity granted/retained; here Curtis received shares via vesting and exercise while a portion was net-settled for taxes.
