(RKLB), reported the sale of 28,562 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $24.1456 (range $23.20-$25.56), totaling approximately $690,000. This sale was required to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon the vesting and settlement of previously granted RSUs and was automatic, with no discretion exercised by the insider.
