Context
- These were not open‑market sales but merger cash‑outs: common shares, vested RSUs, and certain options were converted to cash under the merger terms. For options, treatment depends on exercise price (in‑the‑money options received cash for the spread; others were cancelled).
- Such merger-driven conversions are routine corporate‑transaction outcomes and do not necessarily signal insider sentiment about future company performance.
