Context
- These transactions are merger-driven conversions (not open-market sales or purchases). DSUs are derivative awards that, per the merger agreement, were canceled in exchange for cash equal to the number of underlying shares times $17. This is a corporate change-of-control cash-out rather than a discretionary sale or purchase by the insider.
