Context
These transactions are merger-driven: awards and derivative positions were vested/converted and then surrendered for the merger consideration (cash + CVR). That is different from an open-market sale or a discretionary purchase and typically reflects deal mechanics rather than a trading view on the stock. The “M” entries reflect exercise/conversion of derivative awards; the resulting shares were immediately converted/cancelled under the Merger Agreement.
