Context

• An "A" code indicates the shares were granted (typically as director compensation or an equity award). The filing does not state vesting terms or whether the shares are restricted; such details, if relevant, would appear in the full Form 4 or the company’s proxy statements. Awards are compensation events and do not necessarily indicate immediate buying or selling intent.
