- These were RSU settlements (derivative-to-share conversions) rather than purchases; some shares were withheld/returned to satisfy tax obligations and some sold in the open market to cover taxes — a routine administrative step rather than a clear bullish or bearish signal.
- For retail investors: exercises/settlements followed immediately by sales to cover taxes are common and do not necessarily indicate an insider changing their investment view.
