Context
This was not an open-market sale but a corporate conversion due to a merger—FFWM shares were exchanged for FirstSun consideration under the merger terms. Restricted and performance-based RSUs were assumed and converted into FirstSun RSUs and remain subject to their original vesting/performance conditions as noted in the filing. The Form 4 reports the mechanics of the merger conversion rather than a market trade or cash proceeds.
