Context This was primarily a PSU settlement (an award) with a routine withholding/sale of a portion of shares to cover taxes. Such tax-withholding dispositions are administrative and do not necessarily reflect a change in the insider’s view of the company. Purchases or open-market sales are generally more informative about insider sentiment than award settlements or tax withholdings.
