Context
This was not a market-timed purchase but the settlement of performance awards followed by a partial sale to cover tax obligations — a common, administrative use of shares that does not necessarily indicate the insider’s view of the stock. M-coded entries indicate conversion/settlement of derivatives (PSUs); the subsequent sale is consistent with a tax-withholding sale rather than a discretionary sell-down.
