• Although reported under exercise/conversion (code M), this was not an option exercise but the automatic settlement of RSUs (no exercise price or cash outlay).
• The sale was a routine, broker-initiated tax-withholding disposition (cashless sale) and should not be read as a standalone bullish or bearish signal about the company.
