Were Nguyen AnhCo’s ATRA share sales discretionary or tax-related?

The sales were tax-related, not discretionary. Footnotes explain the shares were sold automatically under a sale-to-cover provision to satisfy withholding taxes triggered by vesting restricted stock units, rather than representing an elective reduction of his holdings.

The 2,996 shares were sold in four separate open-market transactions on March 2, 2026. Each line item reported a different weighted average sale price, but all were executed as part of a coordinated process to cover withholding tax obligations for equity awards.
