Context
This was not an open-market sale but a merger-related disposition: holdings were converted into merger consideration per the acquisition agreement. Vested phantom units are a form of deferred compensation that, per the agreement, were cash-settled based on underlying share count × $19. Because the disposition resulted from the merger, it reflects contract terms rather than an individual trading decision.
