Context
The 4,376-share transaction was an open-market sale (a routine disposition). The 184- and 200-share disposals were tax-withholding actions tied to RSU vesting (cashless withholding), not separate market sales or option exercises. Such withholding to cover taxes is common and does not necessarily signal a change in the insider’s view of the company.
