• Conversion: 1,822 RSUs converted to 1,822 common shares (derivative exercise/conversion, code M).
• Tax withholding: 894 shares withheld at $94.20/share, total $84,215 (code F). Footnote states shares were withheld by the company in a net share settlement to satisfy tax liability; no open-market sale by the insider.
• Shares owned after transaction: not provided in the excerpt of the filing.

Context

• This was a routine RSU vesting and net-share-withholding to cover taxes, not an open-market sale or purchase. Such withholding is administrative and does not necessarily indicate a change in the insider’s view of the company. The filing appears timely (filed one day after the vesting date).
