Context
- The disposals recorded here are tax-withholding transactions tied to vesting of RSUs/PSUs (F code = tax withholding), not discretionary sales—so they don’t necessarily signal insider sentiment about the stock.
- PSUs are performance-based and may vest only if specified performance goals are met; RSUs vest over time.
