Context
- This was not an open-market sale to a third party; the RSUs were settled/cashed under the award agreement and shares were transferred back to the issuer or converted in the merger. The 5,643-share action was effectively a cash settlement of vested RSUs (no outlay by the insider). The 19,112-share entry reflects the corporate reorganization exchange into VICI Properties stock (per the merger terms), not a conventional market sale.
- These entries are routine in the context of accelerated RSU vesting and a merger; they are factual settlements/exchanges rather than independent trading decisions.
