Context

• These were performance-share awards that vested rather than purchases; awards at $0.00 indicate compensation, not an open-market buy signal.
• The disposal labeled F is routine tax-withholding (company withheld shares to cover income taxes), a common occurrence on vesting and not necessarily a sell decision by the insider.
