Context

These transactions are mostly vesting of RSUs followed by tax-withholding and partial open-market sales (a common settlement pattern). RSU conversions (derivative "M" codes) simply reflect receipt of shares upon vesting; the "F" entries are share-withholdings to cover taxes, and the "S" entries are open-market sales (some carried out under a 10b5-1 plan). These are routine insider actions tied to compensation vesting rather than open-market purchases that might be interpreted as a fresh bullish signal.
