Context PRSUs are performance-based restricted stock units that convert to shares when performance targets are certified; this was not an open-market purchase or discretionary sale by the insider. The tax withholding by surrendering shares (common for equity compensation) is routine and does not by itself signal a buy or sell view. Transaction codes: A=award/grant, M=exercise/conversion of derivative (settlement of PRSUs), F=payment of tax liability (share withholding).
