Were Elena Gomez’s Toast (TOST) share sales discretionary trades?

No. The filing footnote states the 11,605 shares were sold to cover tax withholding obligations tied to RSU vesting. This means the sale was a mechanical step to pay taxes, not a discretionary decision to reduce her economic exposure to Toast shares.

Restricted Stock Units financial

"The Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") convert into Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis upon vesting and settlement."

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
