- F1: RSUs and dividend equivalent units (DEUs) convert one-for-one to common stock upon vesting/settlement.
- F2: The 196-share disposition represents tax withholdings related to vesting.
- F3: Units vest in three equal installments (Mar 9, 2024; 2025; 2026) — this filing reflects the 2026 vesting installment.
- F5: DEUs accrue on RSUs and vest/settle on the same schedule as related RSUs.

Context
- This was a vesting/settlement event for restricted stock units, not an open-market purchase or discretionary sale. The share disposals were primarily to satisfy tax withholding (common practice), which is not necessarily a bearish or bullish signal about the company.
- “M” = exercise/conversion of derivatives (here, RSU/DEU conversion). “F” = tax withholding/sale to cover taxes.
