Why were NovoCure (NVCR) shares sold by the COO according to the Form 4?

The filing states the shares were sold solely to satisfy tax withholding obligations triggered by the vesting of Restricted Stock Units. NovoCure’s award agreement requires these obligations to be funded through a “sell to cover” transaction, so the sales were not discretionary trades by the COO.
