    • Some sales were made pursuant to a 10b5‑1 trading plan; the filer disclosed these as previously unreported/delinquent transactions (F11).

Context

  • These filings show RSUs vesting and being converted to ADSs (exercise/conversion, code M), followed by tax‑withholding (F) and open‑market sales (S). Withholding of shares to cover tax is routine for RSU vesting; part of the converted shares were sold under a 10b5‑1 plan. The filing was late and includes disclosure of previously unreported sales — the late filing signals reporting oversight rather than necessarily reflecting trading intent.
