A Form 4 is filed within two business days of a company insider — an officer, a director, or a holder of more than ten percent of the stock — changing their position in the shares. All 13 filings in this group are Form 4s for Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.
The difficulty with reading these filings as a group is that a single form type covers transactions that mean entirely different things. An executive spending their own money to buy stock and an executive having shares withheld to pay tax on a vesting grant both appear as a Form 4. Every filing below is therefore tagged with the nature of the underlying transaction, taken from the transaction code reported on the form itself.
Across the 13 insider filings shown, the breakdown is 10 compensation award, 2 option exercise and 1 open-market purchase. 1 of them involved a discretionary open-market trade; the rest are compensation and administrative mechanics.

Boddy Matthew W. (SVP, Chief Commerical Officer) filed a Form 4 covering compensation-related activity such as stock awards, option exercises, conversions, or tax withholding. These filings are usually neutral.
Shares were granted as compensation rather than purchased. No cash changed hands, so the filing reflects a pay decision by the company, not a judgement about the price.
