- Footnote: F1 — "Shares withheld by the Issuer to satisfy applicable withholding taxes upon the vesting of restricted stock units."

Context
Withholding shares to cover taxes on vested RSUs is a routine, administrative action (a net settlement) and generally does not signal the insider buying or selling stock in the open market. It reduces outstanding shares owned by the insider but is done to meet tax obligations rather than to realize gains. The later filing date may reflect a reporting delay; repeated late filings can be noteworthy, but a single late Form 4 is typically a reporting/timing issue rather than a trading signal.
