Context
- Code A indicates these were awards/grants (vesting/acquisition), not an open-market purchase. Code F indicates shares were surrendered/withheld to satisfy tax withholding or exercise price — a routine administrative step when awards vest.
- Such withholding is common and does not indicate an open-market sale; the net effect was a material increase in Benjamin’s holdings (net +12,811 shares).
