- Additional line reports conversion/settlement of 1,619.333 RSU units (derivative conversion); price not applicable.
- Relevant footnotes: RSUs granted under Zoetis’ equity plan; each RSU = right to one share on vesting (F1, F3–F7). The 517-share disposition was to the company for cash based on the closing price on the vesting date (F2).

Context
- This is a routine equity compensation vesting and sell-to-cover for tax withholding, not an open-market sale for investment reasons. For insiders, RSU vestings with a portion withheld or surrendered to cover taxes are common and typically do not signal a change in sentiment.
- The filing treats the RSU events as derivative conversions (code M) and an other disposition to the company for cash (code J). The Form 4 was timely filed.
