Context
- These transactions reflect routine RSU vesting and sell‑to‑cover tax withholding plus a separate partial open‑market sale. The derivative entries (code M) reflect conversion/settlement of RSUs into shares; the tax withholding (code F) represents shares sold to cover the tax bill rather than a cash payment. Such sell‑to‑cover transactions are common and do not by themselves indicate the insider’s broader market view.
