Context
- The reported disposals were for tax withholding (cashless-type withholding) rather than open-market sales, so they do not necessarily signal a liquidity-driven market sale.
- The Feb 1 grants are typical executive compensation: RSUs vest over future dates (see footnotes) and the option vests over three years.
- Derivative entries (code M) indicate option/award exercises or conversions; code F indicates payment of tax liability via share withholding; code A indicates grant/award.
