Context
This was an RSU settlement with a routine sell-to-cover for tax withholding, not a discretionary open‑market sale driven by new purchases. Derivative code "M" here indicates conversion/settlement of RSUs into common shares; the immediate sale related to withholding is common and does not necessarily indicate the insider's market view. Purchases (which can be more informative) were not reported in this filing.
