Context
- These are compensation‑related transactions (vested RSUs/PSUs converting to common shares and new RSU grants) — common for executives and generally considered routine rather than open‑market investment picks.
- The withholding of shares to pay taxes is a standard cashless mechanism and appears here as disposals (code F), not an open‑market sale by the insider.
- Transaction codes: M = option/derivative conversion, F = tax withholding/payment, A = award/grant.
