Context
These dispositions were part of the Nexstar merger where each TEGNA share and share-based award was converted into $22.00 cash at the merger effective time. This is a corporate-transaction-driven conversion (cash-out) rather than a voluntary open-market sale by the insider; derivative entries reflect conversion/cancellation of RSUs and deferred/phantom share units into cash.
