Context A withholding (code F) is typically a routine, non-market disposition where the company retains shares to cover tax withholding on compensation (e.g., vested RSUs). Such transactions do not necessarily signal insider selling for investment reasons. For investors, outright purchases or open-market sales by insiders tend to be more informative about sentiment.
