Hello PNO,

I just want to confirm that you are still of the view that acquisitions of voting securities through stock-based compensation awards to company employees, officers or directors, such as the vesting of RSUs/PSAs, the exercise of stock options, or other executive compensation arrangements, should be filed as conversions under Rule 801.30, as indicated in PNPM opinion 217.
