Context
- Code M denotes exercise or conversion of a derivative (e.g., option or RSU conversion); code A denotes an award/grant of restricted stock. The disposals reported as derivatives are part of the same exercise/conversion activity reported on the form (e.g., net settlement or conversion reporting). Restricted awards noted here are subject to multi-year vesting schedules, so those shares are not immediately freely tradable until vesting conditions are met.
