Context
- These disposals were merger-related cash-outs/conversions, not open-market sales. Common shares were converted into merger consideration ($12/share). Certain RSUs held by non-employee directors were cancelled and cashed out at the same per-share cash amount; other awards and options were converted to Adobe RSUs or cashed out per the Merger Agreement rules.
- Merger cash-outs are routine liquidity events and do not necessarily signal the insider’s ongoing view of the company’s prospects.
