It appears these two large trades were average price trades probably executed over the course of the day then put on the tape after the close.

The condition code definition for an Average Price Trade according to Bloomberg - A trade where the price reported is based on an average of the prices for transactions in a security during or any portion of the trading day.

Hope that helps.
