Context
- These transactions are RSU vest/convert events—not option purchases. RSUs converted to shares at $0 cost, and a portion of the resulting shares was sold in the open market the next day. The filing’s $0 “disposed” entries reflect the derivative conversion/reporting mechanics rather than a cash sale; the only cash sale reported is the Apr 2 open-market sale for $21,738.
- This is routine insider selling following RSU vesting; the filing shows the mechanics and proceeds but does not indicate Feenan’s remaining holdings or intent.
