Context
This was a routine vesting of long-term incentive RSUs with a partial sell-to-cover for taxes — common insider activity that reflects compensation vesting rather than a market-timing sale. The derivative code (M) indicates conversion/issuance on vesting; the subsequent open‑market sale was limited to tax withholding, not a full disposition of the vested award.
