Context
These were not open‑market sales but disposals/cancellations tied to the merger — RSUs were settled for cash equal to the merger consideration ($29/share). For retail investors: such merger-driven cancellations are routine corporate-transaction settlements and do not by themselves signal insider buying or a change in the officer’s view of the stock.
