Context
This was a deal-related cash-out tied to SunOpta’s acquisition (each common share converted to $6.50 cash), so it reflects the transaction mechanics rather than an insider signaling buy/sell sentiment. The RSU entries were surrendered for cash (not exercised into open‑market shares). Retail investors should view this as a routine merger consideration payout rather than a discretionary market sale.
