- Type: Exercise/conversion of derivative (code M) — 971 shares acquired @ $0.00; 971 derivative units disposed @ $0.00.
- Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in this filing.

Context This was a vesting/conversion of previously granted RSUs rather than a market purchase or sale. The filing shows no immediate sale of the resulting shares, so it does not signal a sale-based liquidity event. For retail investors, RSU conversions are routine compensation vesting for insiders and are different from purchases (which can be a stronger bullish signal).
