What Happened

Context
These actions were merger-related cash-outs: vested RSUs and common shares were paid out at the merger price, and vested stock options were cancelled for a cash payment equal to the excess of the merger price over each option’s exercise price. Such dispositions tied to a company acquisition are routine and reflect transaction mechanics rather than standalone insider selling for personal reasons.
