Context
RSUs are a common form of equity compensation; vesting and the related tax-withholding are routine and do not represent an open-market purchase or sale reflecting a trading decision. The filing shows conversion of RSU derivatives into shares and a share-withholding to satisfy taxes (a common "cashless" withholding mechanism). Transaction codes: A = award/grant, M = exercise/conversion of derivative, F = tax withholding.
