Context
- This filing reflects award conversions and routine tax-withholding share dispositions (common for RSU/performance-share settlements), rather than an open-market purchase or voluntary sale for investment reasons. For derivative/award items: M = exercise/conversion of derivatives; A = grant/award; F = payment of exercise price or tax liability (withholding). Check the full Form 4 for details on the specific award plans and the exact post-transaction ownership.
