Context
Tax-withholding of shares upon RSU settlement is a common, administrative disposition to cover taxes and does not necessarily reflect a market view. The two open-market sales were executed under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan, which typically schedules trades in advance and is intended to reduce concerns about insider timing. These transactions are disposals (sales); there were no purchases reported.
