Context
The entries marked “M” reflect conversion/vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs) into common stock; the later open-market sales were executed to satisfy tax-withholding obligations (a common, routine occurrence), not necessarily a directional bet on the company. As a 10% owner, Flores is a significant shareholder; this filing mainly documents vesting and withholding rather than discretionary selling for investment reasons.
