Context
- This was an option exercise (code M) executed as a net or cashless exercise, meaning some shares were withheld to pay taxes rather than sold in the open market. That is a routine way executives/directors often convert options to stock and does not by itself indicate a buy or sell sentiment on the open market.
- No open-market sale was reported; the transaction reflects converting vested options (granted in 2016, vested in 2017) into shares with withholding for taxes.
