Context
The M-code entries reflect RSU settlements (conversion of restricted stock units into common shares), not option purchases requiring cash. Selling shares to cover tax withholding on vesting is a common, administrative transaction and does not necessarily indicate a broader opinion on the stock. Net, Allison added shares to his holdings (approximately 8,771 shares) after the tax-withholding sale.
