  • Conversion: 9,174 RSUs converted into common shares (reported as exercise/conversion of derivative, Code M).

Context

  • These entries reflect RSU vesting and settlement rather than an open-market buy or voluntary sale. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is routine and does not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment. The filing shows a net increase in Pape’s holdings of 6,835 shares after tax withholding.
