Why did Nexstar (NXST) CFO’s Form 4 show a share sale?

The filing states the sale represented shares sold to cover tax withholding obligations from the settlement of vested RSUs and PSUs. This means the disposition was a tax-related, mechanical transaction tied to compensation, rather than an independent open-market sale decision.
