Context
These entries reflect merger mechanics (equity conversion and surrender) rather than an open-market sale or a purchase decision by the insider. The "acquisition" line is the conversion of PotlatchDeltic RSUs/performance awards into Rayonier RSU awards, and the subsequent "dispositions to issuer" reflect surrender/exchange under the merger terms — not a typical sell for cash on the market.
