Options outstanding were cashed out for the excess of $3.65 over exercise price or cancelled if exercise price ≥ $3.65 (per footnotes).

Context
These sales were part of a corporate acquisition arrangement that converted shares and certain equity awards into cash consideration. That means this transaction is a takeover-related cash-out rather than a voluntary open-market sale by the director, and reflects deal terms (payment of $3.65/share and cash-out/cancellation of options/RSUs) rather than a trading decision.
