Context

• This was an RSU grant that vested immediately; the withholding of some shares to cover taxes is a common administrative step (similar to a cashless/net settlement) and does not indicate an open-market sale by the insider. For retail investors, awarded and vested RSUs increase insider's equity but withholdings reduce the net shares received.
