Context
- PRSUs (performance-based RSUs) vest only if pre-determined corporate performance milestones are met and often require continued service through certification. A sell-to-cover is a routine, non-discretionary mechanism companies use to fund tax withholding when equity awards vest; it does not necessarily indicate a change in the insider’s market view.
