What Happened
Keene Ruth Ann, EVP, Corporate Affairs and CLO of Autodesk, received 7,751 shares when a Performance Stock Unit (PSU) award vested on March 24, 2026 (reported on Form 4 filed 03/26/2026). To cover tax withholding, two dispositions occurred that same day: 3,173 shares sold at $247.44 each for $785,127, and 3,855 shares sold at $247.44 each for $953,881. The award was reported as an acquisition at $0.00 (A) and the share dispositions were reported as withholding to cover taxes (F).

Context
This was an award/vesting event (not an open-market purchase or a voluntary sale). PSUs vest on performance; the filing shows the award was settled in shares and portions were withheld to meet tax obligations — a routine administrative step that reduces the net share increase. For retail investors, purchases signal direct insider buying interest; vesting awards are common compensation events and do not, by themselves, indicate a change in insider sentiment.
