- These transactions reflect the settlement of performance-based RSUs, withholding of shares to cover taxes, and a subsequent open-market sale of some shares — a common pattern when equity awards vest. The withholding (code F) effectively is a tax payment, and the sale (code S) appears to be routine liquidity rather than an independent buy/sell signal.
