Context

• This was a tax-withholding event (shares surrendered to the company), not an open-market sale. Such withholdings are routine when restricted stock vests and do not necessarily indicate insider sentiment about the company’s prospects. Purchases or open-market sales generally provide clearer signals to investors than tax-related surrenders.
