The conversion entries show a $0.00 exercise price; the 479-share disposition was recorded at $484.28 per share for the tax payment.

Context

  • These transactions reflect award vesting and routine tax withholding rather than an open-market purchase or a voluntary sale for investment purposes. The conversion/exercise at $0.00 and the footnotes indicate dividend-equivalent conversion and RSU vesting; the share disposition represents withholding to cover taxes (not necessarily a market sale for investment).
