Several reported dispositions are marked as derivative transactions (RSUs/options) that were treated under the merger terms (some converted to parent awards or cash).

Context
These dispositions are merger-related, not open-market sales or voluntary disposals; common shares were automatically converted into cash at the merger consideration. For derivatives: some unvested RSUs were assumed and converted into Parent restricted stock units, while vested stock options were cashed out per the Merger Agreement. Merger-driven dispositions are routine administrative outcomes of a change-in-control and do not by themselves indicate the insider's market view.
