Context
A "disposition to the issuer" means the insider sold the shares back to the company (e.g., part of a repurchase/cancellation or other issuer transaction) rather than selling on the open market. Sales by insiders are common and do not by themselves indicate company performance or insider sentiment; purchases tend to be a stronger bullish signal.
