Context
- This was a vesting of previously granted RSUs (not an open-market purchase or targeted sale). The withholding of shares to cover taxes is routine and common when equity awards vest; it is not the same as an active market sale for investment reasons.
- Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of a derivative (here RSU conversion); F = shares withheld to pay tax liability.
