Context
RSU grants are compensation, not open-market purchases, and indicate future potential share issuance when vested rather than an immediate bullish purchase. The withheld shares are a routine tax-withholding action (code F), not a voluntary sale. The award is subject to a multi-period vesting schedule and continued employment.
