- Converted/Acquired: 25,039 shares via RSU vesting (transaction code M).
- Disposed to satisfy taxes: 12,019 shares at $148.97/share, total ~$1,790,470 (transaction code F — tax withholding).

Context
- This was a vesting/conversion of RSUs, not an open-market investment purchase. The transfer of 12,019 shares was a "sell-to-cover" (surrender to cover tax withholding), a routine administrative action and not necessarily a market sentiment signal.
- Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (RSU conversion); F = shares surrendered to satisfy tax withholding.
