Context These entries reflect RSU vesting/conversion (derivative code M) and subsequent withholding of shares to pay taxes (code F), a routine corporate administration step that is not the same as a discretionary share sale. For retail investors, such withholdings are common and do not necessarily signal a change in the insider’s view of the company.
