Context
This was a routine RSU vesting and settlement, not an open-market sale or purchase. The withholding of shares to satisfy tax obligations is a common administrative action and does not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment. Conversions of RSUs (reported as derivative conversions) typically show $0 acquisition price because the units convert to shares upon vesting.
