Context
These entries reflect compensatory RSU vesting and associated derivative conversions, not an open-market buy or sale. The 3-share disposition is a tax withholding (common when equity awards vest) rather than a signal of market sentiment. Transaction codes: A = award/grant, M = exercise/conversion of a derivative, F = payment of exercise price or tax withholding.
