Context
- These were derivative/RSU settlement events: RSUs vested and converted into shares, with a portion withheld to satisfy tax obligations and the remainder sold under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan. This pattern is common for employees monetizing vested compensation and typically reflects routine post-vesting settlement rather than a directional buy/sell signal.
- Codes recap: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (RSU settlement), F = payment of exercise price or tax withholding, S = open market sale, A = award/grant.
