Context

These transactions reflect RSU vesting and routine tax withholding, not an open‑market buy or voluntary sale. RSU conversions are reported as derivative exercises/conversions (code M) and tax withholding as a disposition (code F). The new RSU grant is an award (code A) that vests over three years and represents contingent rights to future shares (or cash at the company's election).
