Context
- These transactions are settlements of vested RSUs (derivative awards), not open-market buys or sales by the insider. The cash settlements and share-withholding for taxes are common mechanics when RSUs vest and do not necessarily indicate a bullish or bearish signal.
- Transaction codes used: A = award/grant, M = conversion/exercise of derivative (RSU vesting/settlement), D = disposition to issuer, F = shares surrendered/withheld to cover tax liability.
