Insights

Routine vesting of RSUs/PSUs with tax withholding, no open‑market trades.

The reporting officer exercised and settled equity awards that had already been granted, converting restricted stock units and performance stock units into 20966 shares of DocuSign common stock. This is standard equity compensation mechanics, not new option grants or cash purchases.

To satisfy tax obligations triggered by vesting, 9885 shares were withheld by the issuer, as described in the footnotes.

Following these transactions, the officer directly holds 65631 shares, indicating the net result is an increased equity stake.
