Context
- This was primarily an RSU vesting event (award/acquisition) followed by a partial sale to satisfy tax withholding — a common, routine action that does not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment. The award was recorded as an acquisition at $0 because it represents vested compensation; the subsequent sale was to cover tax obligations.
