  • Acquisitions: 9,430 shares @ $9.46 (total $89,208); 100 shares @ $12.00 (total $1,200).

Context

  • Transaction codes shown: C = conversion of derivative/security, M = exercise or conversion of derivative, S = sale. Zero-dollar “disposed” entries typically record the cancellation or conversion of derivative instruments and are administrative, not cash sales.
  • The filing shows Lynch acquired shares via conversion/exercise and disposed of the same number in the open market on the same day. This sequence documents the mechanics (acquire via conversion/exercise, then sell) rather than indicating a long-term buy/sell position.
