Context
- These were RSU vesting and subsequent sales, not an independent open-market purchase; the conversion (code M) reflects issuance upon vesting rather than an option exercise for cash. The sales were executed pursuant to a pre-established 10b5-1 plan, which is a common way for insiders to sell shares on a set schedule. This filing is factual reporting of the vesting and sales and does not, by itself, indicate the insider’s broader view of the company.
