Context
- This was an RSU vesting event with company withholding to cover taxes (a common "cashless" settlement), not an open-market sale or purchase. The derivative code (M) reflects the conversion of RSUs into shares; the F entries reflect shares withheld by the issuer to satisfy withholding tax obligations. Such withholding transactions are routine administrative events and do not necessarily reflect a change in insider sentiment.
