Context

These filings show conversions of RSUs (derivative instruments) into common shares, not open-market purchases or discretionary sales. The withholding of 8,734 shares to satisfy tax liabilities is a common administrative step (cashless-type settlement) and does not necessarily signal a decision to sell additional shares in the market.
Codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative, F = payment of exercise price or tax liability (share withholding), A = award/grant.
