- The March 7 transaction reflects an RSU vesting and settlement (conversion of RSUs into shares). The related disposition reported at $0 represents shares withheld/surrendered to cover taxes (a routine, non‑discretionary action), not an open-market sale for cash.
- The separate March 10 sale of 655 shares is an ordinary insider sale; such sales are common and do not, by themselves, indicate the insider’s view of the company.
