Context
- These transactions reflect RSU settlement and related tax-motivated selling rather than an outright market-timing purchase or sale for investment reasons. Converting RSUs and selling shares to satisfy tax withholding is routine for executives and does not necessarily signal a view on the company’s stock.
- For clarity: RSUs are a contingent right to receive one share each upon vesting/settlement; the “M” code reflects conversion/exercise of a derivative (RSU conversion), and the “S” code is an open-market sale.
