Context
RSU conversions and share withholding to satisfy tax obligations are routine executive compensation mechanics and do not necessarily signal a bullish or bearish view. The withholding here is effectively a net settlement (company retains shares to cover taxes) rather than an open-market sale. New RSU grants vest over time, aligning with retention incentives.
