Context

These entries reflect RSU vesting and routine post‑vesting actions (conversion of RSUs and selling a portion to cover tax obligations), not an independent open‑market purchase signal. When insiders sell vested award shares to meet tax liabilities, it is typically administrative rather than an indicator of a change in sentiment.
