Context
- The conversion entries (code M) at $0.00 indicate the vesting/conversion of restricted/ performance share awards (not a cash option purchase). The surrender of shares (code F) was done to satisfy tax withholding obligations — a routine administrative step, not an open-market sale. The Jan 26 grant (code A) is a new award subject to quarterly vesting per the footnote.
