Context
This was a conversion/settlement of previously granted performance stock units, not an open-market purchase or sale. The withholding of a portion of the issued shares to cover taxes is a common administrative step and does not necessarily indicate a separate sale in the market. The net effect for Cockrill is a routine, stock-award–driven increase in shares held (765 net shares).
