Context
An "A" code award typically reflects a grant of restricted stock or RSUs (acquired at $0.00), while an "F" code indicates shares were withheld or surrendered to cover taxes — a routine administrative step that doesn't by itself indicate a bullish or bearish view by the insider. For retail investors, purchases are generally more informative than routine awards or tax-withholding disposals; this filing documents standard compensation processing rather than an open-market buy or sell.
