Green Dot (GDOT) COO Teresa Watkins Withholds Shares for Taxes

What Happened
Teresa Elaine Watkins, Chief Operations Officer of Green Dot Corporation (GDOT), had shares withheld by the issuer to satisfy tax withholding related to the net settlement of restricted stock units (RSUs). Two withholding events were reported: 3,751 shares withheld at $11.04/share (value $41,411) and 3,102 shares withheld at $11.27/share (value $34,960), for a combined 6,853 shares and roughly $76,371 in value. These were withholding dispositions, not open-market sales by the insider.

Context
Withholding shares to cover tax obligations is a common administrative step when RSUs vest and does not indicate an insider selling shares on the open market. Such net settlements reduce the insider's reported share count but are routine and usually reflect tax-remittance mechanics rather than a market sentiment trade.
