Context
- This was primarily an award/conversion event (RSUs/performance awards converting to common stock) with a standard share-withholding to satisfy tax obligations — a routine administrative action rather than an open-market sale or purchase. The M-code disposals reflect conversion/expiration of derivative instruments, not sales. Such withholdings (F) are common and don't necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment.
