Context
- These transactions reflect awards vesting and new grants rather than open‑market sales. The withheld shares reflect tax withholding (common practice) rather than a public sale; this is effectively a cashless settlement to satisfy tax obligations.
- Performance RSUs may increase up to 200% (where noted) and some newly granted units have multi‑year performance/vesting schedules.
- Transaction codes: A = award/grant, M = exercise/conversion (vesting of RSUs/PSUs), F = shares withheld for tax, D = disposition to issuer.
