Context
- These transactions are primarily RSU vesting and net share withholding to cover taxes — routine corporate compensation events rather than open-market sales. The tax-withholding entries (code F) represent shares retained to pay withholding obligations, not necessarily a discretionary sale by the insider.
- The M codes indicate conversion/settlement of RSUs into common shares. The presence of both acquisition (A/M) and withholding (F) entries is common when RSUs vest and shares are issued and a portion are retained for taxes.
