Context
- Code A = award/grant of restricted stock; Code F = disposition to satisfy tax withholding. Withholding sales are routine administrative transactions and do not necessarily signal insider sentiment.
- This was a grant of restricted stock (no cash paid) with standard multi-year vesting; the small withheld sale was solely to cover taxes on vested shares from a prior award.
