Context
These entries reflect RSU vesting and the standard “share withholding” to cover tax obligations, not an open-market sell for cash. The $0 exercise price and the footnotes identify the instruments as RSUs (not option purchases). Such withholding is routine and does not necessarily indicate a change in the insider’s view of the company.
