Context
Withholding shares to cover tax obligations is a common administrative step when RSUs vest and does not indicate an insider selling shares on the open market. Such net settlements reduce the insider's reported share count but are routine and usually reflect tax-remittance mechanics rather than a market sentiment trade.
