Context
These transactions are merger-related cash settlements rather than open-market sales. The $24.55 per-share figure is the negotiated merger consideration (cash paid for each outstanding share). The lower $6.71 per-share result reflects cash paid after deducting option exercise prices for certain awards (per the merger terms). PSUs that were credited above target remain subject to any original time-vesting schedule, so some cash may be subject to continued vesting. This type of settlement is common in acquisitions and reflects deal mechanics more than an individual insider’s market signal.
