Context
- These were RSU vesting and issuer withholding transactions (routine tax-withholding), not open-market sells. Transaction code M indicates conversion/settlement of derivative awards (RSUs) into common shares; code F indicates shares were surrendered/issued to cover tax liabilities. Such withholding transactions are standard when equity awards vest and typically do not by themselves indicate insider sentiment.
