Context
- This was not an open‑market buy or sale for speculation; it reflects RSU vesting and a routine "net‑settlement" tax withholding by the company (i.e., the issuer retained shares to cover taxes).
- The new RSU grant represents unvested compensation that vests over time (one‑third each anniversary as noted). Such awards are compensation, not direct indicators of insider sentiment to buy or sell.
