Context
These entries reflect routine RSU vesting and tax withholding (derivative conversion), not an open‑market investment decision. Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (RSU settlement here), F = payment of tax liability via share withholding. Withheld shares to cover taxes are common and do not necessarily signal a change in insider sentiment; no market sale beyond withholding was reported.
